Château Montrose 2005 (3 BT)

Château Montrose 2005 

St. Estèphe, 2ème Cru Classé

1 slightly scuffed label

The last vintage of Jean-Louis Charmolue before he sold the property and what a tribute to him. In 2016, at the château, a huge, all-enveloping nose, cedars and cigars. Fabulous and flavoury on the palate, with both softness and crispness. Winey beauty, with that 'marine' touch. Will it be another 1990? It will certainly keep for decades more. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
