(Château Montus Madiran Cuvée Prestige) Black red violet with cherry red meniscus; very tight at first, opening to ripe plum and black fruit nose and cassis, like a plush Napa Cab, then changed, after 2+ hours, to more of a tart meaty nose; initially showed rich, concentrated, ripe plum, black fruit and cassis palate with minerality and elegant iron notes; after 2+ hours, tart red fruit and beef jus came out to join the black fruit; long finish 94+ pts. (drank the bottle by myself throughout a 7-course truffle themed meal at Restaurant Robert Rodriguez in Carcassonne)

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
