Description
This Montrose from 1977 is fully mature and, like so many wines from this difficult vintage, is way past its optimum drinking window. We have found one recent note on this wine in cellar Tracker "Has bit of leathery, animal funk going on. There are also notes of cedar and cassis. It is relatively compact but not too skinny. There's some capsicum and tobacco and other cool things and the finish is bright and airy." Tasted 2016 CellarTracker
