Château Montrose 1998, Saint-Estèphe

A little austere, but that does not mean this is without an abundance of classic charm. Firm and full-bodied, with a backbone and a lot of lift, the red fruits are vibrant, the nose is complex and there is a nice spicy tone that goes along with the finish, You can drink this now, or age it for more softness and development.�Jeff Leve, the wine cellar insider, 2018
