Descriptif du Château Montrose
Le prodigieux Montrose 2003, d'un pourpre d'encre, se distingue par de spectaculaires et flamboyants arômes de crème de cassis, de chêne neuf, de fumé, de pierre concassé et de fleurs blanches. Merveilleux de richesse, il est corsé et onctueux, et s'exprime en bouche avec ampleur, révélant une finale longue de 1 minute
Robert Parker : 100 points
"This is considered to be among the greatest vintages ever made in Montrose, right up with the 1929, 1945, 1947, 1959, 1961, 1989, 1990 and 2009. Harvest was October 15 to 17. The wine has really come on since I last tasted it, and it needs at least another 10 years of cellaring. The blend was 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine is opaque black/blue, with an incredible nose of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, with hints of incense, licorice, and acacia flowers. Tannins are incredibly sweet and very present. The wine is full-bodied, even massive, with great purity, depth and a finish that goes on close to a minute. This is a 50- to 75-year-old wine that will repay handsomely those with good aging genes. (Note: The Chateau Montrose website gives an aging potential of 2020-2100.)"
