Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 18, 2019 - I think this is really really good! It has all the Bordeaux signature attributes of crunchy red plums, cedar, flowers, and earth, with youthfull mouth cleansing pull that keeps it light on its feet. But my only concern is that it peter'ed out on the 4th hour, becoming a bit disjointed and losing its focus. A great and holdable bordeaux or any great holdable wine, should get better as it bottoms out. This had me questioning the health of the perfectly presented bottle...Im iffy on holding this, but still give it the marks it deserves based on initial delivery. Will try another soon...If this is standard representation of the wine, I consider this a wine to Drink rather than holding. A great Montrose never the less...
