In kleineren Jahrgängen neigt dieser Wein gerne dazu etwas garstig zu sein. Rauchiger Duft mit Anklängen von Tabak und ätherischen Konturen. Süßholz und asiatische Gewürze. Ansprechend. Am Gaumen kompakt. Im Auftakt mit reifer Konzentration der Merlot, dann offenbaren die Cabernets ihren Biss. Von mittlerer Statur. Herb-frischer Nachhall. Gute Länge. Wer eher spröde Charaktere mag, ist hier ordentlich aufgehoben. Kann sich noch etwas mildern. 89+

Some St. Estephe firmness (made by the same team as Montrose). Deep crimson, black fruit (especially currants). Years ago, I gave this wine 91+, and today I gave it 92.

Not a great vintage but drinking well right now and delivering som classic Bordeaux characteristics. A good dose of barnyard coupled with dark fruit, earthy notes, tobacco and with a slight touch of oak still left. The tannins - though definitely present - are subtle and nicely integrated. Definitely in a good spot now and does not require any extensive cellaring to develop further. This is good value for money.

Medium bodied, pencil shavings, smoke, blackberry. A little barnyard on opening, lean in the mid-palate and finish. Did not devolve nor did it evolve over a 2 hour period. Nice wine.
