Similar to my last none. All leather and tobacco, with a slightly sour note that doesn’t ruin it. Big burst of effervescence in the mid palate and a really nice long finish. Montrose is a lovely wine.

Very delicate aromas, usual smorgasbord on the nose of pencil shavings, tobacco and leather after a little bit of barnyard. Light ruby in colour. Cork required delicate skill and a very gentle whirl out! Tried a little without decanting and then carried on and decanted expecting a deterioration - my word, it got better and better. A beautifully long finish - despite being in decline!
Next day - I was not expecting much, but it tasted even better. Shame there wasn’t much left by this point.

Pretty classic montrose. Leather and pepper and tart red fruit. Definitely peaked and on a slow graceful decline, still a really lovely wine, but it doesn’t take you on a wild ride like a younger one.

Classic old Bordeaux, some. Cedar, green pepper, plums. Palate is fully resolved, earthy, red fruits, a bitter finish but in great shape.
