Chateau Montrose 2eme Grand Cru Classe
2008
Chateau Montrose '08
Saint-Estephe, Medoc, Bordeaux, France
"One of the superstars of the vintage, this classic Montrose is not as showy or opulent as the 2010, 2009 or 2003, but it offers a dense purple color followed by gorgeously sweet black raspberry and black currant fruit intermixed with loamy, earthy, forest floor notes, a floral component and a long, fullbodied finish. The 2008 was fashioned from yields of 44 hectoliters per hectare which is slightly less than the 2010's 45 hectoliters per hectare. Forget it for 5-8 years and drink it over the following 20+."
Score: 95 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (194), May 2011
