  From magnum. 2 hours in decanter. Impressive wine that makes you happy. Fruit, silky mouthfeel , tertiary notes, good tannins, all wel integrated. kicking and alive. Although all well balanced now and perhaps entering its peak plateau, it has a long life ahead. This is what 1982 can bring, fantastic.

  Truly excellent bottle of the 1982 Montrose after a number of bottles that had shown rather poorly for me. Light of its feet with powdery mouthfeel and bright red fruit and cedar. The impression you get os that of an older wine that is showing charm and class these days. Elegant fruit styling plays against rough tannin on the finish and bretty aromas on the nose

  Probably the best showing for the 82 Montrose yet, if still a wine that swung and missed given the otherwise wonderful combination of Ch Montrose and the 1982 vintage. For a time, this offered a rugged blueberry and plum nose, accented by pencil. There has always been a slightly unclean aspect to this wine that reminds me of sour beer. Rugged tannins still, but without the depth or delineation on the nose or palate which one finds on the great performances from Montrose.
  
  Harvested Sept 14-29

  Cedar and forest floor on the nose. Elegant with a long finish. Greatly enjoyed, excellent. Drank very well with a one hour decant.
