The 2010 Château Montrose is one of my favorite Bordeaux wines. I have tasted many vintages of this wine. 1990 probably was the best, as far as I remember. This vintage comes close! In my opinion, it should be a 1er Cru, not 2nd. But the classification was made in 1855…
Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red. On the nose it is intense and complex. Aromas of dark red fruit, blackberry, cigar-box, vanilla, cassis, chocolate, dark cherry and blackcurrant. On the palate, it is voluptuous, round, and dry, with silky tannins, medium-low acidity, with a perfectly balanced, complex and well-structured structure. The finish is endless. This wine is masterpiece. This wine is ready to drink now, but will last well at least for another 25 years. Decanting of the 2010 Château Montrose is recommended, at least 45min-1hr before tasting.
