TASTING NOTES:
Wine Rating: RP 90 points Drink by: 2005 - 2030
A classic effort, the 1998 Montrose exhibits a dense purple color in addition to a sweet nose of jammy cassis, licorice, earth, and smoke. It is a powerful and full-bodied wine with well-integrated tannin. Given Montrose's tendency to shut down, it is performing better out of the bottle than I expected. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030. |
