Château Montrose 1990
Saint-Estéphe, 2ème cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: The wine is remarkably rich, with a distinctive nose of sweet, jammy fruit, liquefied minerals, new saddle leather, and grilled steak. In the mouth, the enormous concentration, extract, high glycerin, and sweet tannin slide across the palate with considerable ease. It is a huge, corpulent, awesomely-endowed wine that is still relatively approachable, as it has not yet begun to shut down and lose its baby fat. It thoroughly embarrassed the 1989, itself an exceptional wine. The 1990 needs 10 more years ofcellaring; it should last for 25-30, possibly 40-50 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 109 Feb 1997
