Château Montus, Cuvée Prestige--Vintage 1995
Madiran. Château-bottled
Lots 910 to 912 in original wooden cases
Tasting note: Brumont has always produced very good wine for near-term drinking, but the 1995 Montus Cuvee Prestige, a 100 Tannat (the local grape), aged in 100 new oak, is a wine for drinking around 2010 or later.....As the grape's name implies, it is a tannic wine, although this is not a wine that is harsh and astringent without the balancing fruit. The color is an opaque black. The wine possesses a magnificent, sweet, pure nose of cassis, black plums, and subtle new oak notes. Extraordinarily deep and full-bodied, with layers of concentrated, jammy fruit, a formidable tannin level, and a monster finish, this is unquestionably one of the great 1995s (and I am including all my top picks from Bordeaux). Do not be surprised if it outlives anything produced by Montus's more renowned siblings to the north. The Cuvee Prestige will demand 15-20 years of cellaring. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Issue 106 (aug 1996)
