Château Montrose--Vintage 2008
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: One of the superstars of the vintage, this classic Montrose is not as showy or opulent as the 2010, 2009 or 2003, but it offers a dense purple colour followed by gorgeously sweet black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit intermixed with loamy, earthy, forest floor notes, a floral component and a long, full-bodied finish. The 2008 was fashioned from yields of 44 hectoliters per hectare which is slightly less than the 2010's 45 hectoliters per hectare. Forget it for 5-8 years and drink it over the following 20+.
