Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 10, 2006 - BORDEAUX 2005 / Cabernet rules; 4/5/2006-4/10/2006 (Bordeaux): What a difference between the Montrose and the Cos, the two stars of St. Estephe. Montrose tends to be less showy, less velvety when young, but more brooding. This was a case in point. The first impression was of tannic bite, but then I realized the sheer power of this wine with a focus not unlike that at Latour. With 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 31% Merlot (plus a bit of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot), this wine showed backbone, and will certainly turn out to be something special after its barrel aging. Still, not as impressive as the Cos this year. 93-96
