One 75cl bottle of Chateau Montrose 1996. Bought en primeur and stored in my Victorian South London wine cellar. Bottle and wine level in excellent condition, ullage into neck. The is a scuff mark to the back of the capsule where it rubbed against the wooden support of the case. Drinking extremely well and always a highly rated wine.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown of The Wine Independent has written in September 2023:
The 1996 Montrose is composed of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. This was not a particularly cool vintage, but it was late. There was rain at the beginning of September, so the Chateaux that decided to wait and harvest late made very good wines. The harvest dates at Montrose were 23 September to 6 October. Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, it erupts from the glass with a powerful perfume of redcurrant jelly, blackcurrant pastilles, and kirsch, followed by hints of cast-iron pan, dried sage, and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is taut with muscular fruit and a firm backbone of ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with epic length and lots of mineral sparks.
