Château Montrose--Vintage 1994
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: Montrose has been one of Bordeaux's most consistently successful châteaux since 1989. An opaque purple color suggests a wine of considerable intensity. One of the most successful 1994s of the northern Médoc, the wine's closed aromatics offer jammy black fruits, plums, spice, and earth. On the palate, there is impressive extract, purity, and copious amounts of sweet blackcurrant fruit nicely balanced by moderate yet ripe tannin. Medium-bodied, with excellent to outstanding concentration, this impressive Montrose should be close to full maturity with another 4-5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020. 91 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #109, February 1997
