No notes taken. A good 2nd Growth from St Estephe. Savoury palate finishing dry.

08' Chateau Montrose. Just opened. Even on this so called challenging vintage, what a great bottle of wine. Hold.

Very dark rubi robe, looks so young. Very fresh nose of blackcurrant, flowers and cedar. Medium bodied, polished tannins, oh so good. But better in 5 years for sure. We like it a lot.

Go easy with air. After an hour decant, I found this underwhelming. It was open and soft, but with the air it lacked complexity and depth. My bad for not tasting prior to the decant.
