This is considered to be among the greatest vintages ever made in Montrose,

right up with the 1929, 1945, 1947, 1959, 1961, 1989, 1990 and 2009. The wine

is opaque black/blue, with an incredible nose of blueberry and blackberry liqueur,

with hints of incense, licorice, and acacia flowers. Tannins are incredibly

sweet and very present. The wine is full - bodied, even massive, with great

purity, depth and a finish that goes on close to a minute. This is a 50 - to 75

- year - old wine that will repay handsomely those with good aging genes. /RP
