Château Montrose--Vintage 1961
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
Levels: seven top, four upper/top and one upper shoulder; one cut capsule to veryify château branded cork, three depressed corks, lightly bin soiled labels
"Tasted 4 times with consistent notes. A stunning wine from a superb vintage, the 1961 Montrose is still in need of another 10 years of cellaring. The deep, opaque dark ruby color, the huge bouquet of ripe cassis fruit and mineral scents, the full-bodied, dense, compelling richness and length, plus gobs of tannin, all point to a monumental bottle of wine for drinking during the first 20-30 years of the next century. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2030."" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, #95 (Oct 1994)
