Saturday, October 22, 2022 - PnP. Great wine. Drank before a 2006 Masseto, and while the Masseto was definitely the better wine, I actually preferred this. Drank perfectly. I would say it's definitely in its prime drinking window. A bit on the lighter side which is typical of the vintage. I love 96 BDX. One of my favorite vintages. The Montrose was classic aged Bordeaux. Stoney St. Estephe with pretty fruit, and beautiful earthiness. Smooth tannins. If you come across a bottle it's definitely worth it.
