St Estephe, 2er Cru Classe
1 bottle per lot
good height, clean labels, excellent appearance.
62% cabarnet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 3% cabarnet franc, 1% Petit Verdot.
RP 98, WS 95
A candidate for a perfect score, the 2003 Montrose has been a superstar since the first time I tasted it in barrel. Showing no signs of weakening, it is an amazing wine from this fabulous terroir. It boasts a deep blue/purple color as well as a stunning perfume of blueberries, black currants, blackberries, licorice and camphor. Dense, fullbodied and rich with an unctuous texture, well-integrated, melted tannins, and a long, heady finish, this big, brawny, super-intense, gorgeous 2003 is just beginning to enter its plateau of full maturity. It should remain there for at least two decades.
