CHATEAU MONTROSE 1996 |

Château Montrose 1996 St. Estèphe, 2ème Cru ClasséLevels bn or into the neck, 1 slightly scuffed label, 2 slightly scuffed capsules, otherwise excellent levels, appearance, color, and clarityHere one gets the Cabernet Sauvignon in full flight. Superb richness, body and roundness. Glycerol and fat. Really super-spicy, ripe Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. All this and elegance too. In 2013, it has such attack but now ends more gently.
