Early Mar 2024, Rheingau Gourmet Festival, rarity diner “25 vintages of Chateau Montrose”: bottle immediately opened before consumption; dark crimson color; at start with an almost non existent nose, later subtle green and red pepper notes were discernible; in the mouth berry and cherry juice like flavors accompanied by a fruity acidity.
Vintages of flight III:
1952 - 1953 - 1966 - 1976 - 1979 - 1981

My experience was consistent with other recent notes. This was solid, but lacks some magic at this stage.

Birthday Celebration (Racquet Club - Chicago IL): Charming and intriguing, even if not as complex as the ideal aged Bordeaux at the half-century mark. But charming and wonderfully clean.
