The 2018 Chateau Montelena is not the Montelena that I'm accustomed to. This particular vintage is way less concentrated than other vintages. In the past they have been overly fruity, and very dense. I sipped it over three evenings with consistent results. It could use a bit more time. Is it worth $70 a bottle? I'm not sure.

Good wine good acidity but too much vanilla, hope this gets reduced with age but right now its rather Paso Robles vanilla heavy. A bit disappointed.
