  Color is deep garnet with hints of brown. Nose is still delicious, a mix of boysenberry/red fruit, cedar, prunes, forest fire smoke, game. Palate is medium bodied but still massively tannic, this has legs to last and is still almost too drying. On palate, red fruits, cedar, game. Perhaps a bit lacking on the palate in power but still very nice. Good pairing with lamb, but insanely good pairing with mushroom soup. A wine that needs food. From the cellar at Restaurant Michel Guerard.

  Sadly, this bottle was past it - bland, lacking in fruit. Hopefully just a bad one.

  Great aged Heritage of Montus. Mushrooms, oak, and forest floor. Tannins are still slightly present but we'll integrated. Showing well now so drink them up, as no further development is expected.

  Decanted and served and this frankly was proper little discovery.
  Earthy , well evolved, smooth and well round on the palate with nice firm yet silky tannin. Fascinating in a way and we would have struggled to place this had we had this blind, probably we would have said Bordeaux with a bit of age.Very good and understated beauty. 93 and drink sooner than later.

  Reifes Bordeauxrot, aufgehellter, ins Orange tendierender Rand. Die Nase angenehm tief und reif, wieder rustikal aber mit mehr positiven Düften und etwas weniger Bret, erinnert an einen schönen, leicht rustikalen Bordeaux. Deutlich mehr Finesse als der 98er, am Gaumen saftig, leicht krautig, angenehm frisch, die Frucht ist noch präsent und mit einer schönen Würze, wirkt etwas ausgewogener als hat aber weniger Struktur als dieser. Gefällt in seiner Art ganz gut. Jetzt bis 2022, 17 vvPunkte (86/100) www.vvwine.ch
