Community Tasting Note

96 Points

Tuesday, December 10, 2019 - A dinner for three (De Bokkedoorns, Overveen, The Netherlands): Not the first Montrose '53 I have tasted, but certainly the best one; mid shoulder level. A sound colour, no decay in the bouquet, a sweet accent in the start, than minerals (iron, tea). The midtaste started a bit narrow, as Peter Bruins noted also, but developed quite quickly with more complexity and also minerals. The balance was long, stayed in the mouth and showed a firm core considering its age. From start to finish a wine in a very good condition and surprisingly balanced. This is why classic Bordeaux has become so famous.
