Early Mar 2024, Rheingau Gourmet Festival, rarity diner “25 vintages of Chateau Montrose”: according to the sommelier double decanted for up to 3 hours; deep crimson color; opulent bouquet of cassis and cherries; round, polished texture with a well integrated acidity.
Nez assez austère sur la fumée, le tabac, bois précieux et quelques notes de fruits noirs. C'est froid mais pas désagréable.
Bouche assez impressionnante pour un 75. Dense, avec un très joli toucher et une austérité versant du bon côté donnant de la classe et de la retenue à l'ensemble sans verser dans la schlague.
Très belle finale, très légèrement accrocheuse, avec des notes animales du plus bel effet !
Un des plus beaux 75 bus à ce jour, je dois avouer !

Bottle in perfect condition. The vintage is still strong and will last for several years to come. Evolved and layered black current fruit, cigar box, wet forest floor, plum, still firm but silky smooth tannins.
