(SYP) Decanted for 2.5 hours, small glass.
Loads of blackcurrants on the nose, with also notes of vanilla, tobacco and spice. It's smooth and concentrated, though there is some warmth through the mid-palate. It will take many years to absorb all the oak. 90+

Early Mar 2024, Rheingau Gourmet Festival, rarity diner “25 vintages of Chateau Montrose”: according to the sommelier double decanted for up to 6 hours!; deep purple color; intense sour cherry juice and cassis like aromas in nose and mouth; noble, slightly restrained texture; light/medium body. 92-93+?/100
Definitely the vintage of flight IV which currently mostly resembles the classic claret style.
Vintages of flight IV:
2013 - 2014 - 2015 - 2016 - 2017 - 2018

Blackberries, violets, roses and cedar on the aroma and palate. Body is medium-plus. Acidity is medium-plus and well integrated into the wine. The tannins are high with a powdery quality that coats and drys the whole mouth. Overall, this a great, well structured wine.

Pulled the cork after two tastings by Coravin access.
Drank over a long afternoon. Air allowed the wine to reveal its finest qualities and highest potential.
Elegant and precise fruit and terroir, which in this delicate vintage, the oak treatment overpowers.
In a previous tasting, my preference ran to the similarly styled yet more judiciously oaked Prieuré-Lichine, which can be had for one third, or less, the Montrose's tariff.
This bottle had no less than a decade of evolution ahead of it, likely followed by a several year drinking window. Improvement, however, seems unlikely. 92-93.
