Château Montrose St Estèphe 1855 2ième Cru 2012
Muscular tannins, bitter chocolate shavings. Feels upright and military, the polar opposite to Cos d’Estournel, in the way that Mouton is so different to Lafite. It’s enjoyable, has a long life ahead, still austere at 10 years old, tobacco, cigar, you feel the architecture and the confidence as it sretches out through the palate, successful but reserved. Harvest September 24 to October 20.
