2009 Château Montrose
Community Tasting Note
garymouton Likes this wine:
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 - Four hour double decant, but this wine was still very tight for me. I was struggling to get primary fruit here let alone some of the secondary characteristics some have described. It certainly has all the structure to be a great wine, but I am not touching another bottle until 2030 at the earliest. Did not have with food, which might have softened the tannins. Bought on release.

How the professionals go through dozens of wines like these a day without palate fatigue is unfathomable to me. So, patience for me is a virtue born of necessity.
