Offered in original wooden cases
Château Montrose--Vintage 1989
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: An outstanding Montrose, the 1989 is one of the vintage's stars. It possesses an opaque dark ruby/purple color, a sweet nose of minerals, black fruits, cedar, and wood, dense, medium to full-bodied, highly extracted flavors, low acidity, and moderate tannin in the long finish. While it appears to be closing down far more quickly than the legendary 1990, it has layers of sweet fruit as well as an elevated level of glycerin. Give it 5-7 years of cellaring, and drink it over the subsequent 2-3 decades. Last tasted 3/97. 96 points. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition, January 1998.
