Details
Château Montrose--Vintage 1970
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
Offered in a carton. Levels: seven into neck and one top-shoulder
Tasting Note: This is one 1970 that appears to possess the necessary components to develop into something special. It remains youthfully hard and astringent, but there is no doubting the high levels of concentration and intensity. Moreover, the wine exhibits a classy, complex bouquet, offering up scents of cedar, black fruits, minerals, and leather. Full-bodied, powerful, and rich, with outstanding concentration, this wine requires another 7-10 years of cellaring. It is unquestionably a 40-50-year wine. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #105 (Jun 1996)
