Tasted at the Montrose vertical in London, I think I was as surprised as Hervé Berland when the 1985 Montrose performed above expectations. Picked between 25 September and 9 October, it is mature in color with some bricking on the rim. The palate is a little rustic with red berries intermingling with bacon fat, singed leather, bay leaf and a slither of dried orange peel. The palate is very well balanced, fleshy in keeping with the style of the vintage, not as complex or as structured as the 1986, but certainly superior to the 1982 Montrose, with an effortless, nonchalant finish that beckons you back for another sip. Just a delicious Saint Estèphe that is à point. Tasted June 2016.

I tasted this blind - amazing bordeaux nose, bright, fresh, earth. So obviously left bank bordeaux on nose. Earth, spice, barnyard, cow pat, balance with mild dark red fruit. Drinking beautifully.

(Montrose) had a gorgeous nose: forward, fragrant and seductive. There was plump cassis, plum, chocolate, nut, caramel, cedar, minerals, pencil, bread and earth all dancing in unison in its nose. Steve called it 'rich, especially compared to 1986,' and the palate was just delicious with its round and rich flavors, with more of the earth and mineral shades exerting themselves. The saltiness of St. Estephe seemed to be taking charge, and there were more tannins and acidity than I expected on the palate; it was still less dry and tannic than the 1986 but just as good if not slightly better at this stage. Bipin, right on cue, went into his 1985 vs. 1986 spiel, which is how 1985 is superior to 1986 and that the two vintages are similar to 1953 vs. 1952. For this wine and this moment, the case could be made
