Just a glass of this and I didn’t think much of it. Seems a little simple, but it may well have been palate fatigue since it was one of the last reds popped during the night. Ripe and smooth, with wonted typicity in a way, but without any real personality. Expected more old-school Bordeaux elegance (especially at a very agreeable 12.5% abv), and from Montrose (especially after an unexpectedly impressive 11’ I had not too long before).

Annual boys trip away. This time to Cairns. Brief notes. Possibly the WOTN. Just medium weight. With aromas of antique shop chest of drawers, old books. Wonderful persistence of flavour. Won’t get better but a very good showing from a lesser year.

06 and medium bodied and not as robust as big years but drank beautifully out of magnum.

Palate is pretty closed. Nose shows a youthful pomace nose. Has years to go

Still young and can age a lot longer. Needs more time.

had just a taste and that was good enough. The fruit was present yet the green note distracted it. Normally green notes I enjoy just not with this mag. Good producer but kind of a miss today.
