Community Tasting Note

BenBlu Likes this wine:

Wednesday, July 22, 2015 - Had a glass for lunch next to Leoville Poyferre 2005. I had a clear preference for the latter (which I rated 95). However, the Montrose is certainly a fantastic wine but it feels that this one will really benefit from another 5-10 years before you get rewarded. It feels a bit (too) reserved and diplomatic right now - compared to the Poyferre the fruit was barely noticeable. Although a good wine I really hope this one improves with age as I have almost 2 cases left. Time will tell... I have a half bottle left of this one as I accessed via Coravin - I will look to give the remaining bottle a healthy decant of 5 hours + (for this tasting it was pop and pour and left in glass for half an hour). .
