Avis d'expert

4 / 5

Michael Broadbent

(9-1996) Good fruit, good grip, silk-clad tannins. Slightly sweaty tannin on the nose but sweet and rich.

86 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(1-1998) Undoubtedly one of the successes from this vintage and destined to be one of the longest-lived wines of 1976, Montrose continues to exhibit a dark ruby color, a spicy, vanillin oakiness, and a generous, deep, black currant fruitiness. While many 1976s have turned brown and begun to dry out, losing their fruit, Montrose remains young, impressive, and promising.
