Château Montrose--Vintage 2001
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Sweet notes of earth, compost, and thick, juicy black currant as well as cherry characteristics jump from the glass of this dense purple-coloured 2001. Medium-bodied and rich, with moderately high tannin as well as surprising power and density, it is the most backward St.-Estephe of the vintage. A blend of 62 Cabernet Sauvignon, 34 Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it requires 5-6 years of cellaring, and should drink well for 15-16. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2004
