Second wine from Montrose in an outstanding vintage.
I’ve thought about opening one for a few years. 15 years is a good check on a Montrose but, at the end of the day, I knew it wasn’t going to be its best self. That takes 20 plus years with Montrose wines in good vintages.
It paired well with the Allen Brothers trio we had; dry aged ribeye, strip steak and Ribcap. Still needs food at this point. It’s going to be at least 5 more years before it expresses more rounded fruit, integration and elegant beauty.
Thanks to James for his perfected, seasoning & grilling techniques using the Green Egg...it is definitely superior.
Photos of, Chateau Montrose, amazingly clean & beautiful barrel room, tasting salon and staff at harvest.

Blackcurrant & blackcurrant leaf nose. Concentrated dark fruit palate, quite prominent alcohol, leathery tannins on the finish. Lacks a little freshness & complexity. Bottle variation? Certainly claret, but a little disappointing.
