Château Montrose--Vintage 1966
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
Glue stained and bin-soiled labels. Levels: six base of neck and one just below top-shoulder
Tasting note: A classic of its kind. Two variable and premature cask samples. Every subsequent note mentioning tannin. But taht is what the old Montrose used to be. I will jump straightto a perfect example, a bottle alongside the Cos, and bought at the same sale, at my bordeaux club dinner in 1998. Now medium deep, richly couloured, mature; a rather hard-to-get nose; dry, somewhat austere, massive, still tannic. It will come round, eventually. Feb 1998. ***** M.B
