Château Montrose
Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Fantastic bottle with some earthiness, tobacco and red fruit. Slightly grippy but not offensive. I'm very pleased!

Mar 19th, 2017This was singing. About 3 & 1/2 hour decant. Cigar box, still fresh, dark fruit, good acidity--wonderful stuff.

Aug 23rd, 2015Had all the right things going for it, soft nose and mouthfeel that lured you in. Good until mid palate where it left you hanging and faded away.
