  Really nicely aged Montrose. Took about 30 to blow off the funk but then drinking beautifully.

  Better on the nose, with spicy, earthy, cigar and cedar accented character, than on the pleasant, old-school, classic, piquant red berry palate. The wine requires drinking sooner than later.

  Double decanted for 4 hrs and it mellowed out with a hint of leather

  Light funk and faint mint on the nose, with a mildly sweet palate. Undifferentiated and one dimensional.

  An epic vertical of Chateau Montrose (Restaurant Daniel): Not much of a nose. Herbaceous. The 1970s line up proved that this was the lost decade in Bordeaux. Montrose vertical 1895-2000.
