The best St Estèphe, well constructed, surprisingly sweet.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(02-1997)
Montrose has been one of Bordeaux's most consistently successful chateaux since 1989. This is a dark rubypurple-colored wine with a grilled meat, peppery, spicy, black fruit-scented nose, medium body, surprisingly sweet fruit and softness, moderate tannin, and a well-balanced, firm, concentrated personality. It will benefit from 2-4 years of cellaring, and will last for 15 years (one of the longer-lived wines of the vintage).
