Note di degustazione
Tasted at the Montrose vertical in Stamford, the 1947 Montrose is a truly great Saint Estèphe. Noticeably deeper in color than the 1952 or 1959, it has an impressive bouquet: ample red berry fruit, rusty copper piping, dried blood and damp earth developing in the glass and keeping you hooked. The palate is medium-bodied and as fresh as the aromatics. There is a fine line of acidity here, much less volatility than you often encounter in Bordeaux 1947s, very harmonious with dried orange peel, tobacco and iron filings towards the stocky finish. This is a 1947 that still packs a punch after many decades and it is delicious! Tasted May 2016.

Dark, bright, youthful crimson – extraordinary colour. Rich and wild on the nose – some interest and mossiness. Richer nose than the other two vintages above – more complete. Quite a dry finish. Lovely evolved nose but the acidity is starting to wine the battle so I wouldn’t think this wine has a long future ahead of it. (JR)
Informazioni sul produttore
Ch. Montrose is one of two Second Growths from Saint-Estèphe and one of the most consistent producers in Bordeaux. The wines from this property are both elegant and powerful, and some of the Médoc's most age-worthy .
