Tuesday, June 5, 2018 - Lovely red and powerful black fruit, cassis, black olive, gravel, cigar box, leather, and a very dry finish. No bricking on this high fill bottle. Showing better now than before?

Many thought the fruit of the 1975 Montrose would not survive the time that the wines needs to soften. I happen to disagree. I have had this wine at least four times and it is holding just fine and providing great pleasure. Your very positive note is a good sign that this wine is drinking just fine after 42 years.
