Lot 261 Details
CHÂTEAU MONTROSE 1990
Saint-Estèphe. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 1bn; 1bt. scuffed label & bin-soiled label

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. (August 2014) 100 WA


2 bts. per lot $1,200 - $1,400
