Details
Recently removed from excellent cellarage
Château Montrose--Vintage 2000
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
In original wooden case
Tasting note: This estate has frequently hit the bull's eye over recent vintages, and the 2000 Montrose is the finest effort produced since the compelling 1990 and 1989. This gigantically sized, tannic, backward effort boasts a saturated inky purple color followed by a huge nose of acacia flavors, crushed blackberries, creme de cassis, vanilla, hickory smoke, and minerals. Extremely full-bodied, powerful, dense, and multi-layered, this unreal Montrose should last for 30+ years. A blend of 63 Cabernet Sauvignon, 31 Merlot, 4 Cabernet Franc, and 2 Petit Verdot, this is a special wine that has exceptional purity and length. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040. 96 points.
