Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 2, 2024 - Loved this. 90 Montrose has always delivered. Have had the good fortune to drink this a dozen or so times and every bottle has been superb.

Opened at 3pm. Decanted 4:45 for an hour. Decanted again at the restaurant, Bear in Napa. Wine was open and expressive but I could feel still could give more. Indeed I was right as the last glass 2 hours later tickled my sphincter! Yeah, felt like I was back in Thailand! Ha.

Hence, one flaw of all these tasting notes is the lack of details on decant time. I see this time after time for most reviews. I gotta say so disappointing when on a great wine how irresponsible to not give it the respect it deserves w a proper 2-4 hr decant .....

So this was sooooo much better after a 3 hr decant. What a decadent finish. Very much in its peak. Can easily have had a 4 hr decant. I should have known as last time I had this a few years ago I decanted 4 hours and that was ideal.

Drank next to 96 Margaux and 86 Las Cases. 90 Montrose, my bottle, was the star and bested both.

Drink as often as possible and repeat with Pete (me!!). Thanks )))
