The 2012 Chateau Montrose is a powerful, masculine, and age-worthy Bordeaux with tasting notes of dark fruit like blackberry and cassis, complemented by graphite, crushed rock, and charred meat. It has a full, powerful, and silky mid-palate, with high tannins, good acidity, and a long finish with notes of brioche and liquorice. It is considered a wine for aging, though it is becoming accessible now.
