1996 Château Montrose
7/3/2017 - D. Mitchell Likes this wine: 95 Points
Classic Bordeaux, this was the most beautiful Montrose I have had. The color was dark garnet, with very slight light edge, clear, with just a touch of sediment at the end. The smell was a complex blend of eucalyptus, forest floor, licorice, red fruit, a touch of prune. On the palate the wine was very focused and elegant with red and black currant, earthy, a bit of smoke towards the back. Medium finish that really closed out this wine beautifully. WOTN 95 Points...

2006 Col Solare

Wow, this is just getting better and better! This is a very elegant and smooth, I bought 18 of these, and this was lucky 13. Dark ruby colored, with a slight light edge, clear, on the nose was sweet dark fruits, cedar, and a bit of charcoal. On the palate it was dark fruit, with a touch of sweetness (that could be Napa taste if blind), leather, and mushrooms, well integrated quality oak that led into a medium finish. No need to rush to drink these, as I think they will hold on for at least a few more years. 92+ Points Beautiful..

2000 Château Haut-Bergey

"The Little Engine that Could" is the story I thought about while consuming this wine. Dark Ruby colored, clear, slight light edge, nose is unmistakably Bordeaux, with a bit of funk covering the earthiness, & cedar. On the palate this is very smooth, balanced, and offering some nice red fruit, with a bit of tobacco, and black licorice. Nice complexity for this price point... No complaints here, its an easy 92+ points!
