Château Montrose--Vintage 1982
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
Levels: bottom neck or better. Bin-soiled and damp stained labels. One loose label.
"The 1982 is nowhere near the quality of some of the Montroses made afterwards (1989, 1990, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2008), but it has aged better than expected having developed more complexity and richness than barrel samples suggested. Sweet kirsch, black currant, crushed rock, and floral notes are followed by a full-bodied, opulent, fleshy wine displaying no hard edges. It still possesses beautifully pure fruit as well as good body, but it should be consumed over the next 5-8 years" RP, Wine Advocate # 183, June 2009
