98 Points

Tuesday, March 22, 2005 - The 3 Tenors of Saint Estephe (Calon, Cos & Montrose): 1982, 1990, 1995, 1996 & 2000 (New York City, NY): Wine No. 3 (1990 Montrose)
Very dark, opaque ruby wine that was clearly the darkest in the flight. Nose packed with new world fruit, cigar box and a hint of oak. Layer upon layer of blackberries and blueberries in this full bodied, sexy, low acid trophy of a wine. Still has noticeable ripe tannins and an endless finish. This wine was singing tonight and is a testament of how great Bordeaux can be. I, as well as (I think) everyone else picked this as the Montrose. 98 points . This wine got twenty four 1st place votes for the only unanimous WOTF as well as wine of the night.
