Tuesday, February 15, 2005 - Bordeaux Legends with Leve at Sona (Los Angeles, CA): It's not a bad four day stretch when you have the 1990 Montrose twice! Like the bottle last Friday at Citronelle, this one was impressive yet also somewhat marred by a massive, nearly overwhelming brett element. This stuff smells, actually reeks, and tastes of horseshit. Interestingly, a bottle enjoyed a few months ago showed no brett?!? Still, with air the remarkable fruit and extract on this rise to the challenge and try to swallow up the horse. Maybe more decanting is required. The grip, power and natural extract here is off the charts, easily the biggest Cabernet-based wine I have ever tasted.
