1996 Chateau Montrose Deuxieme Cru

Norbert says:
Old school classic
Thank God. The 1996 reveals excellent potential. He has a rich, dark ruby ​​to crimson and aromas of new oak, jammy, black currants, smoke minerals and new saddle leather. This multi-layered wine is rich, with medium to full body, mild tannins, a pleasantly textured, concentrated flavor and an impressively long finish. Expected maturity now until 2038.
