Château Montrose--Vintage 1996
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
In original wooden case
"This classic Montrose's opaque purple/black color is impressive. The wine possesses exceptionally rich, overripe plum and cassis fruit intermingled with smoke, minerals, and spice. Only 59 of the harvest was included in this blend of 72 Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 Merlot, and 4 Cabernet Franc. The wine's unctuous texture makes one think there is more Merlot in the blend, but its success is due to the super-ripe Cabernet Sauvignon." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 115, 2/23/98
