Tasting Notes

90
Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4), December 2003

Very fine indeed, offering complex aromas of berries, grilled meat and tobacco, with racy tannins and a long finish. Medium to full bodied. Better than from barrel. Solid montrose. Best after 2005. 18715 cases made.

James Suckling, Wine Spectator (31/3/2), March 2002

The black/purple-colored 1999 Montrose offers up notes of pure black fruits intermixed with minerals, smoke, and earth. It is extremely concentrated, surprisingly powerful and dense, with moderate tannin. Its size, strength, and medium to full-bodied personality are atypical for the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.
