Description
Chateau Montrose 2003St. Estephe
Bottle (12)
Wines from the Steel Pier Collection. Nearly all wines purchased from mailing lists and stored on the estate in a temperature and humidity controlled wine cellar.
“One of the top half-dozen wines of this torrid vintage in Bordeaux, as well as one of the least evolved, is the 2003 Montrose. Evocative of blackberries and cassis mingled with black truffles, loamy soil and pencil shavings, it's full-bodied, rich and layered, with a broad attack that segues into a supple but structured mid-palate laden with sweet but succulent fruit that's framed by powdery tannin. While in no danger of imminent decline, it's drinking very well today.” (95 pts. William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2023)
“The 2003 Montrose has much more freshness than the 1983 tasted alongside. With blackberry, boysenberry, wilted iris flower, loam and clove, it's pretty complex and certainly more complex than the Lafon Rochet. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy, grippy tannins, powerful and burly. Firm tannins, this is serious and lacks a little flair and charm towards the finish at 20 years of age. Just a bit static at the moment. Tasted at the château.” (92 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, April 2022)
