1996 Ch. Montrose, St Estèphe

Ch. Montrose, St Estephe
Known as the Latour of St Estèphe for its power and longevity, this estate is an excellent source of top Claret. With 73% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, this exhibits beautifully-balanced tannins and precise, sweet fruit. It is a classic Montrose and a delicious example of Bordeaux at its best. Decant this wine at least an hour before drinking to unleash its glorious potential. Drink until 2025.Château Montrose

Ch. Montrose, St Estephe
Mid quite youthful-looking ruby. Very developed bouquet that is super correct and pleasing to a classical claret lover. Lovely integrated fruit freshness, vitality. The tannins are dissipated but this is a really nice, fresh wine for now. Not super succulent but very successful. Sucky stony finish. 12.5%.
