Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe

Size750MLVintage2008SKU14683
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, full-bodied finish. 95pts Wine Advocate (2008)

Size750MLVintage2008SKU9600
