4/19/2024 - Lord of the Bottles Likes this wine:
This seems to have closed up some since another bottle I had a year ago. Serious concentration but all black fruit and wood. Maybe in 5-10 years this will be awesome.

At Wine Group Dinner 203, Harveys Bistro - 2009 Left Bank. This opened beautifully with a deep pure crimson colour and a soaring nose of blackcurrants, garnet plums, dark raspberries, dark chocolate, cedar and charcoal with touches of white flowers. The palate is rich and layered with a Latour-like strictness that provides great length, purity and nuance. This is great wine.

Tasted next to Pontet Canet 2009 and Pavie 2009 this Montrose was simply brilliant. Still young but already so good. This will become a "perfect" wine in 10-15 years from now but it is already Champions League level. Incredible nose of dark forest fruits, graphite, vanilla and what a smoothness and silk in terms of mouthfeel. Great length and complexity. Big wine.

4/10/2024 - garymouton Likes this wine:
Four hour double decant, but this wine was still very tight for me. I was struggling to get primary fruit here let alone some of the secondary characteristics some have described. It certainly has all the structure to be a great wine, but I am not touching another bottle until 2030 at the earliest. Did not have with food, which might have softened the tannins. Bought on release.

Second time this was my WOTN, although this time, the comparison was an eclectic group of Cote Rotie, Amarone, Zin, and 1905 Sherry. Beautiful vintage drinking well now and surely better in the years ahead.
