    February 1, 2017 - For the low auction price, simply extraordinary, at its absolute drinking peak, level only 1.5 cm below cork. I defy any 1970 Bordeaux or Burgundy, irrespective of price, to top this. Well, maybe La Mission, not Montrose. OK, so you don't like volatile acidity? Ho-hum, great wines have it, so quit reading and stick to your Cali Cabs. Showed its Gran Reserva pedigree on the palate and finish, where crianzas and even regular reservas fall short. Supreme elegance for a song. One feels -- privileged.
