Monday, January 1, 2024 - Bordeaux + Napa pirates (Tøyen, Oslo): Slow oxed 7 hours, followed 5 hours
Noble, understated nose with dark berries, bacon fat, baked tomato and a bevy of peppery spices.
Uniform palate, archetypical Medoc, cherry pits, so much minerality. Dark and serious, though never heavy, with a very long finish. So much class.
Surpise, surpise, this needs more cellar time, Montrose is truly a long term proposition.
95 for now, should be even better in fullness of time.
