Château Montrose--Vintage 1999
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: The black/purple-colored 1999 Montrose offers up notes of pure black fruits intermixed with minerals, smoke, and earth. It is extremely concentrated, surprisingly powerful and dense, with moderate tannin. Its size, strength, and medium to full-bodied personality are atypical for the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025. 90 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #140, April 2002
