Château Montrose--Vintage 1996
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
In original wooden case
"The wine's unctuous texture makes one think there is more Merlot in the blend, but its success is due to the superripe Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1996 is sweet (from ripeness, not sugar) and medium to full-bodied, with a well-delineated personality. No doubt there is significant tannin lurking in the background, but much of it is concealed by the wine's hefty extract, glycerin, and fruit levels." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue 115, 2/23/98
