2014 Château Montrose

This is a very classy offering from Ch Montrose. I was enthused by the uniform high ratings (...) so decided let’s open a bottle. The general consensus is that it would benefit from a serious decant (...) so I made the decision to decant the wine with an aerator for 3 hours. In hindsight it was a good decision. (...) Aromatically it’s true to its Northern Medoc terroir with scents of ripe blackberries bushes, lavender, graphite and pencil shavings. There is great persistence on the palate with a long satisfying finish with a gorgeous texture and silky mouthfeel. You can comfortably drink this now - it’s giving so much sensory pleasure.

Overall, an excellent wine. 96points today, but improving with every bottle.

Beautiful nose of cassis and dark fruits. The palate shows freshness, good acidity, primary flavors of cassis and blackberries, then some slightly earthy notes on the nice ending. This wine is excellent already!
