This wine has plenty of amber at the edge, with a nose of Asian soy, seaweed, black cherry, damp earth, cedar wood and baking spices, followed by a supple, round, very elegant, mid-weight Montrose that is still very much intact. Overall, the vintage appears supple and soft. It is easy to believe it was never an austere, structured, tannic wine. This, again, is a tribute to the great terroir and the incredible longevity that Bordeaux possesses. It is always amazing that we drink these wines generally in their first 10-20 years of life, when many of them can last 80-100 years (as this one is 94 years old, and wasn’t even from a great vintage!).
