Description

Chateau Montrose 1990
St. Estephe
1bn, 1ts, 2lwrl, 3stamped labels
Bottle (12)
"The wine remains a blockbuster, an inky/ruby/purple-colored effort revealing stunning concentration, amazingly high glycerin, and abundant amounts of sweet black fruits intermixed with notions of earth and spice. It is a fleshy, full-bodied St.-Estephe with atypically high amounts of fatness and fruit extract, but it is settling down nicely and seems set for another 2-3 decades of longevity." (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009)

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009)

"This wine has an incredibly complex nose of spring flowers, blackberry and cassis liqueur, scorched earth and barbecue spice. It is full-bodied, majestic and opulent, with low acidity and fabulous fruit. It is close to full maturity. The wine should continue to drink well for at least another 30 or more years, but it is showing secondary nuances in the perfume. The wine is absolutely magnificent, broad, savory and mouth-filling. This is one of the all-time modern legends from Bordeaux as well as Chateau Montrose." (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #214, Aug. 2014)
