Community Tasting Note

90 Points
Wednesday, November 23, 2016 - 2006 Left Bank Red Bordeaux, with Richard Brazier (Handford Wines, London): Probably one of the tightest and charmless Montrose we have come across, ever. Dark in color, light touch of mocha, dark fruits. Not very herbal to be honest. Tight but not harsh, very tannic and this wine needs time. Not very giving at this time. 90 at best for now and this needs a good 10 yrs in bottle.
