Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - 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)
Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT ESTEPHE
Size750MLVintage2006SKU11585
The 2006 is extraordinarily elegant and finesse-styled, but it exhibits stunningly concentrated, sweet blackberry and cassis fruit with hints of flowers and minerals. Full-bodied with a savory, expansive mid-palate as well as sweet, noble tannins, this beauty should drink well for 20-25+ years."" 94+ Points Wine Advocate

Size750MLVintage2005SKU4967
Fashioned from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2005 Montrose exhibits huge tannin, powerful floral, blueberry, and cassis flavors, and more weight as well as richness than last year. This blockbuster will need a decade or more of cellaring. 95 Pts Wine Advocate (2005)

Size750MLVintage1995SKU14209
Opulent, with forward aromatics (gobs of black fruits intermixed with toasty pain grille scents and a boatload of spice), this terrific Cos possesses remarkable intensity, full body, and layers of jammy fruit nicely framed by the wine's new oak. 95pts Wine Advocate (1995)
Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT ESTEPHE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU13098
Some structure and minerality can be detected in the background, but the overall impression is one of massive blackberry, black currant and mulberry fruit intermixed with forest floor, damp earth, crushed rocks and a hint of spring flowers. Full-bodied with sweet but abundant tannin,this wine will undoubtedly shut down for a decade, then unleash its power, glory and potential perfection. 100pts Wine Advocate (2009)

FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT ESTEPHE
Size750MLVintage2005SKU5016
Made from an unusually high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) and the balance mostly Merlot with a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc, this superb effort requires plenty of time in the bottle. It boasts an inky/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of licorice, Asian spices, creme de cassis, blackberries, and toasty oak. This full-bodied St.-Estephe is exceptionally powerful, pure, and dense with a layered mid-palate that builds like a skyscraper. While there are massive tannins, they are remarkably velvety and well-integrated in this big, backstrapping effort that should enjoy an unusually long life.
