Château Montrose--Vintage 1996
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
Lot 536 is offered in a carton and lot 537 in an original wooden case
Tasting Note: The 1996 Montrose reveals outstanding potential. It boasts a saturated dark ruby/purple color, and aromas of new oak, jammy black currants, smoke, minerals, and new saddle leather. This multi-layered wine is rich and medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannin, a nicely-textured, concentrated mid-palate, and an impressively long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2025. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #122 (Apr 1999)
