Château Montus, Cuvée Prestige--Vintage 1990
Madiran, Château-bottled
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Made from 100 Tannat, this wine is unquestionably the most concentrated, massive wine I have tasted from Madiran. It should not be purchased by those seeking immediate gratification as 4-5 years of cellaring is essential for this behemoth of a wine. The opaque black/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of cassis, roasted meats, vanillin, and smoke. Massively endowed, and oozing with layers of super-ripe, concentrated, unctuously-textured fruit, this full-bodied, tannic wine should age effortlessly for 20 or more years. It is an extraordinary achievement. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Issue 92 (Apr 1994)
