Château Montrose 2004 (12 BT)

Château Montrose 2004

St. Estèphe, 2ème Cru Classé

Good levels and appearance, capsules slightly rubbed at base by dividers

Lovely aromatic nose of great class. Absolutely splendid, with huge fruit and opulence. At the château, they thought it had some similarity with 1996. Intense and complex, with that alluring 'salty' St.Estèphe finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
