7/14/2017 - Wineteacher Likes this wine: 88 pointsCompletely enjoyable. The color is still quite bright and red. Showing no sign of tiring at this time. The bouquet is typical Bordeaux. On the palate the wine is firm and tasting like a ten year-old wine. Amazing for the vintage. Medium tannins and slices. Obvious cabernet and some oak. One we there are a few notes here in this site that alluded to this wine being over the hill. I have had this wine twice now in the last 3 years. I still have 5 bottles. I have no issue with this wine going over the hill. Perhaps a good cold cellar is the reason. I wouldn't see this is the best Bordeaux I have ever had but it is very competent and pleasure giving. No issue with age at this time. Easily another 5 years. I still have Montrose 64 , 67 and 75, all drinking well when tasted 18 months ago. |

7/12/2017 - Jeff Leve wrote: 96 pointsA year in barrel has added a lot of complexity, richness, and polish to the wine. There is depth of flavor and concentration now, along with more aromatic complexities. A bt more time of aging could make this even better! This should hit the top of my initial range with ease. |

7/7/2017 - W!neNot? Likes this wine: 98 pointsPerfumed nose of tobacco box, pencil with some fruit of bosenberry. Slight dried green tea. Palate is intense with silky smooth tannin and good acidity. Flavours of pencil and game - quite developed but some serious complexity. 30 second finish - such high quality. This will age longer and develop further but drinking perfectly now. Not sure what could really improve it. A superb wine. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

7/3/2017 - D. Mitchell Likes this wine: 95 pointsClassic Bordeaux, this was the most beautiful Montrose I have had. The color was dark garnet, with very slight light edge, clear, with just a touch of sediment at the end. The smell was a complex blend of eucalyptus, forest floor, licorice, red fruit, a touch of prune. On the palate the wine was very focused and elegant with red and black currant, earthy, a bit of smoke towards the back. Medium finish that really closed out this wine beautifully.

7/3/2017 - Winemaker51 Likes this wine: 91 pointsSome brick tones to the color that belies it's age. Needs decanting to remove sediment, and it did open up after 1 hour. A classic, pre Parker claret style of mainly red fruits (hard cherry candy), strong earth/terroir, slight mint and tertiary development. Palate is elegant, very well balanced, classic, intellectual Montrose, but not ripe, black fruits. Enjoy now, and I would not age this. |

7/3/2017 - mukden wrote: 90 pointsYES-ISH. So there is some development here, but it is still a young wine. The colour is deep dark red and from the carafe the nose seemed really good Bordeaux (oak, pencil stuff). In the glass it seemed to have less substance, thinner somewhat. There was still good aromas and a non-Bordeaux-like a/c hotness (its 13%) and some tannins (young ones). A good wine, but not yet a great wine. Young. Wait. |

6/30/2017 - Jean-Philippe M Likes this wine: NRC'est magnifique comme vin. Couleur violet foncé, de bons tannins, une puissance et une longueur remarquable pour le millésime. En bouche on a des fruits foncés (cassis, mûres) et de la truffe. Le vin approche son apogé et c'est excellent. Je n'ose pas imaginer la puissance de Montrose dans un grand millésime. |

6/27/2017 - NostraBacchus Likes this wine: 98 pointsOMG this is good! Beautifully open and seductive, with notes of blackberries, cassis, underwood, forest floor, some funky notes too, sweet spices, earth, tobacco and also some animalic notes. Very complex. It's medium-full bodied with excellent mid-palate persistance, medium+ acidity, medium-high tannin that is excellent quality. Super long finish. A super impressive Montrose and one of the wines of the night. It combines an almost Napaish kind of fruit with a classic St-Estephe structure. |

Black plum with cigarbox and slightly sweet licorice and allspice notes. Meaty and incredibly powerful. Kept getting better for the hour+ in glass. So much better than my last bottle tasted earlier this year. |
