Wine Spectator
Wonderful clean berry fruit with currant, light mint and mineral following through to a full, firm palate with long, silky tannins and a mineral, berry and spice aftertaste. Lovely wine. Firm. This is squeaky clean and beautiful. Enjoyable now but better to wait a few years still.--Non-blind Château Montrose vertical. Best after 2007.

Delighted that this bottle was absolutely perfect. Could be in the dictionary for the left bank. Plenty of fruit dark backbone still there so this was by no means all tertiary flavours.

Dark red color. Intense. Long live. Slight evolution. Brilliant. Medium intensity nose. Fruity. Suave. Soft and energetic entry on the palate, developing on a very very fruity structure, firm but airy, which delivers juicy and sweet tannins with a gingerbread taste. Great finish with slightly austere and just ripe tannin. This limit in maturity evokes the style of winemaking of yesteryear.

Very beautiful colour, ruby red, shining. The nose is still a bit closed (it is advised to open the bottle 4 hours before drinking) but very pleasant, red fruits, red current. The mouth is perfectly balanced. The tannins are fine still present but well integrated. Richness, acidity, a nice length. This wine is an immense pleasure today but is also made to last.

Strong carmine garnet, broad ochre rim, orange reflections. On the nose, fine herbal spices, inviting dark berry fruit, a hint of truffle and nougat, fine, rather delicate bouquet. Medium body, fine cherry fruit, red berry aftertaste, well-integrated tannins, an excellent food wine, medium length, on point.

Brick tinged, ruby color with some browning at the edge of the rim. Herbs, tobacco, licorice, cassis and earthy notes in the nose. Masculine and brutish in style. Probably close to full maturity. This is for lovers of austere claret stylings.

Adrian van Velsen - vvWine
Strong Bordeaux red, still youthful. Clearly mature on the nose, austere, green peppers, cardboard, behind it fish fried in shallots, metallic, that seems worn out, inharmonious on the nose. Very austere on the palate, drying, blood, leather, little fruit, classic Bordeaux but not great, ends medium long.

Jancis Robinson September - 2005
Jancis Robinson
Dark crimson – much deeper than the 1985. Correct, dense, slightly austere at present. Very fragrant and correct but still much marked by extremely fine tannins on the palate. Very dry finish. Much better with food – well, surprisingly good with a light shellfish cream – pretty awkward with a foie gras crème brûlée.
