Community Tasting Note

JMLoree Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 19, 2013 - I have been following this wine since the turn of the last century and have always ranked it as one of my favorite Bordeauxs ever. Now that it has entered its mature stage it is even more rewarding. We gave it a three hour decant during which it evolved beautifully. It sports an abundant perfume of flowers in the glass followed by an eruption of red fruits and fine herbs accompanied by classical saddle and tobacco notes only to end with a long tail, multi-layered finish that must last for at least a minute. A true tour de force from Montrose which we enjoyed with yet another October Cassoulet. N.B. - The drinking window shown beginning in 2020 should be modified to begin now and I'm doubtful that this will still shine in 2040, not that the latter observation will matter to most of us.
