Sadly another disappointment though I think the brett presence was a bit less aggressive than on the previous bottle, particularly the nose. On the palate food, steak and coco beans obscured the brett to some extent and enabled us to continue drinking the wine and appreciate the tangy berry fruit, earthy minerals and firm backbone but there was always a nagging background of barnyard and antiseptic plus, I think, a hint of VA. Other contributors seem to have had better luck with their bottles.
Verticale du Château Montus cuvée Prestige: La belle surprise de la soirée! Je m'attendais à un vin aigre et mince... Le joli nez est floral, charmeur. De beaux tanins adoucis, une superbe fraîcheur, une élégance à la pauillac, dans un style léger, bien équilibré. Aucune note tertiaire. Atypique et très réussi. 91 pts

Brown colour, thin texture. The "horsy" nose of the earlier review is noticible, but not very disturbing. Medium legs and no sediments. Thin texture, nearly no fruit, slight taste of red pepper. Maybe a little bit better in "younger days", though it still needs a time of ventilation. Reading the earlier tasting notes, it might be too old now

För oss brett-älskare. Ett moget vin med många kvaliteter som öppnade sig fint under kvällen. Helt fantastiskt vin till mat.
