Château Montrose--Vintage 1966
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
Lot 1349 levels: four bottom neck, seven top and one upper/top shoulder; bin soiled labels. Lot 1350 levels: two bottom neck, eight top, one upper/top and one mid shoulder; bin soiled labels. Lot 1351 levels: four bottom neck and eight top shoulder; damp stained labels All lots in original wooden cases
From the "old-school" Montrose winemaking book. Time has tamed the tannins somewhat, mature sweet tobacco, moist earthiness, dried/leafy forest floor. This is not for a cocktail party, this Montrose is for the dinner table, a main course game paring to be certain. Tannins will seemingly outlive the fruit. Finishes dry, with gripping tannins. Good body and extract. Needs food to coax out the remaining fruit. Black peppery, lingering finish. A solid wine for the collector with an old-world palate. Selection from 2002's Christie's LA/Merrill Lynch tasting. ST
