Community Tasting Notes 6

    February 23, 2024 - Overall somehow similar structure as the 2017 Château Bouscassé, although this one is a bit more polished.
    Soft, well integrated tannins, but wine is less developed. No tertiary notes at all.
    This wine - although drinkable with food - needs at least 2-3 years to develop.
    Is the wine worth the extra 33 % price compare to Boucasse - not yet sure...
    Day 2:
    Everything has come a bit together in harmony.
    Sufficient fruit & acidity (and tannin) to see 3 to 5 years of development.
    Yes, I would pay the 33 % extra compared to Boucasse to buy Montus.

    June 10, 2023 - Belle robe rubis foncé. Un nez d'herbes, de torréfaction avec une touche d'iode. Une bouche ferme, solide avec des tanins secs. Finale sur les fruits noirs et un grillé bien intéressant.

    June 2, 2023 - Nice subtle smell, deep taste. Nice bitter, long lasting, vanilla, raspberry, good with blue cheese

    March 25, 2023 - Bu en succ.
    Toujours aussi bon ce classique.
    Super ample et profond, la robe est de nuit!
    Sur les mures et le café noir, un peu de tabac
    et des herbes. Les tannins sont serrés et
    la finale hyper longue nous laisse
    sur des notes de torréfaction!
    EXCELLENT!
    Infos sur SAQ.COM:
    Véritable icône du sud-ouest, Alain Brumont
    veille aux destinées de 430 hectares de vignes réparties
    dans plusieurs zones de production.
    Il a redonné ses lettres de noblesse à l'appellation madiran
    en plus de la faire rayonner dans le monde entier.
    Surnommé le Petrus du sud-ouest par plusieurs critiques,
    le Château Montus est à la hauteur de sa réputation.
