Lot #72. Montrose 2005

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 98 WA.
"The 2005 Montrose continues to show brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with notes of blackcurrant, red fruits, loamy soil, black truffles and cigar ash. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's still brooding and tannic, with lively acids and an imposing chassis of structuring—and artery-cleansing—extract. Still an adolescent, it's one of the last unrepentantly old-school vintages of Montrose, and Médoc purists couldn't own enough. While this remains a very youthful wine, it is now apparent that the 2005 will, at maturity, surpass the 1989 and 1990." William Kelley, Wine Advocate #259, Feb 2022
Provenance: The Acier Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $275
