Tasting notes for Château Montrose 2000 To the eye: A deep garnet robe with tawny reflections, dense and silky, betraying accomplished maturity and generous substance. On the nose: First aromas of ripe blackcurrant and wild blackberry, followed by notes of cedar, golden tobacco and a touch of graphite, all underscored by a subtle iodine salinity. On the palate: A velvety texture, carried by lively acidity and a tannic framework that is still firm yet integrated, with accents of liquorice, undergrowth and a mineral finish of remarkable length. Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its aromas. Vintage 2000 A sunny and balanced vintage, marked by optimal grape maturity, offering this Saint-Estèphe a rare concentration and perfect harmony. - Aging potential: To be enjoyed until 2035–2040, provided it is stored in a cool cellar (12–14°C) and away from light.
