Description

I have had the 1990 Montrose on four separate occasions over the last several months, and I have consistently rated it either 99 or 100. Three of the bottles came from my cellar, and one was tasted at the chateau. None of them revealed any brett, which is not the case with bottles that were exposed to heat, or had bad storage issues. The wine remains a blockbuster, an inky/ruby/purple-colored effort revealing stunning concentration, amazingly high glycerin, and abundant amounts of sweet black fruits intermixed with notions of earth and spice. It is a fleshy, full-bodied St.-Estephe with atypically high amounts of fatness and fruit extract, but it is settling down nicely and seems set for another 2-3 decades of longevity. Many have felt the 1989 Montrose is better, and it is getting closer to meriting a three digit score, but it remains more tannic and backward.
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (183), June 2009

The greatest wine that this top estate has ever produced. Simply awesome. Enormous concentration, deep fruit flavours, minerals, tar, exotic Asian spices and ripe tannins fused with lavish new oak. Will delight for decades. BB&R

Belated holiday dinner - Mostly Burg and Bordeaux (Ripple Restaurant in DC): The last bottle that I had was flirting with perfection. This seems a bit more mature and not as intense, that doesn’t mean it is not intense. Cassis, a hint of red fruits, plum, milk chocolate and cedar. Very good concentration but a bit less concentrated impression than the last bottle, warm round silky palate impression and nicely integrated tannins. A great example of the ripe hedonistic style of the 90 vintage, opulent fruits and round warm silky palate. The best examples of the 90 Montrose can be close to perfect but more like 97 pointer overall, minus very bretty bottles.

12/19/2013 - SOYHEAD WROTE:
tasted side by side with the 1989 Montrose
nose - dried rose petal, funky
mouth - juicy red berries and plums, very fruit forward but still quite tight, creosote, and big tannins.
A hundred point Parker wine, and I see why, this fruit is massive and will last forever.

On the nose, Stable, leather, cedar and all the ingrediens that makes this a wonderful Bordeaux. A typical wine that you can sit and just let your nose do all the work. What a beauty.

On the palate long with a fantastic balance. Tobacco, chocolate and some nice tones of mint. Oh what a wine!

At a tasting we put on for our Couples Cru of 17 present, of eight 1990 Bordeaux (Angelus, Figeac, Beausejour Duffau, La Mission Haut-Brion, Leoville Barton, Pichon Baron, Lynch Bages, Montrose). All wines purchased on release and aged in my cellar. This was the group's favorite. Very dark and totally opaque, with no brown at the edges. It took awhile to open but then showed deep dark cassis, licorice, and oak aromas with complexity. Probably the most concentrated of the wines, along with Beausejour, this had everything perfectly balanced, with a wonderful long aftertaste. This is just entering its maturity, and can be enjoyed, but it would be better to let it sleep another three to five years.
