Description
Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon 1984Estate
5bn, 1nl, 3lscl, 1tl, 5lwisl
Bottle (12)
The Peconic Bay Cellar: Highlights include several prized bottles of 1985 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, along with additional blue-chip selections from top producers. All wines have been stored in temperature-controlled conditions, with provenance to match the pedigree.
“Good dark red with virtually no sign of amber. A distinctly dark style of Montelena, conveying a medicinal cast to its aromas of black fruits, minerals, licorice, violet and mint. Fresh, pure, juicy and penetrating but not hard, with its dark berry, black cherry, cedar and anise flavors displaying an element of rocky minerality—and less earthiness than most earlier vintages. This savory, classically dry wine will expand further with more cellaring (or give it some time in a decanter if you can't wait to open a bottle) and should last for another 20 years. This was the first vintage of the Chateau Montelena Estate that included a major contribution from vines on fractured volcanic bedrock planted north of the winery up the canyon in 1989 and 1990. According to Barrett, these vines are irrigated but the fruit shows similar chemistry in terms of pH to the vineyards closer to the winery, which are mostly on alluvial soil. A superb showing—and I suspect there's even more ahead for this wine.” (94 pts. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, March 2019)
