1994 Montrose St Estephe

91 pts - Wine Advocate

["Montrose has been one of Bordeaux's most consistently successful chateaux since 1989. An opaque purple color suggests a wine of considerable intensity. One of the most successful 1994s of the northern Medoc, the wine's closed aromatics offer jammy black fruits, plums, spice, and earth. On the palate, there is impressive extract, purity, and copious amounts of sweet blackcurrant fruit nicely balanced by moderate yet ripe tannin. Medium-bodied, with excellent to outstanding concentration, this impressive Montrose should be close to full maturity with another 4-5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020.- Robert Parker Jr. (02/1997)"]

["Rather lean for Montrose, but has some attractive berry, vanilla, spice and redwood aromas and flavors. Slightly dry finish. Best after 1997. 18,000 cases made. — JS (01/1997)"]
