The 1989 Montrose can be a magical wine even if huge variation between bottles makes it something of a minefield for anyone with an aversion to the animal aromatic signatures of Brettanomyces yeasts. This particular example was one of the best I have had (and as one of the best Bordeaux from my birth year it is a wine I have drunk several dozen times) offering up rich aromas of cassis dark berries black truffle pencil lead espresso toast and rich soil tones followed by a full-bodied ample and layered palate that's broad sensual and enveloping framed by sweet powdery tannins. In fact my handwritten notes include the words "best bottle ever!" Published: Dec 21 2023
