A sure bet but it’s a monster for the grand vin has benefited the second wine review, the 2005 is the finest vintage for these wines should give readers an idea of just how consistent wine review vintage is at the time of publication of Chateau Montrose. The 2005 Cos d’Estournel is made from an unusual blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon was brought in during the last nine days of September, and the rest Cabernet Franc as well as a dollop of Petit Verdot, it possesses an inky/blue/purple color in addition to a sweet, pe ruit finish. Yummy to taste. - James Suckling, The wine review Advocate 91-93 wine review Blackberry with light spice and chocolate with powerful tannins to match. The finish seems endless….Undoubtedly a Grand Vin.

- armit 17 points Space limitations did not allow complete tasting notes for wine review Cru Bourgeois, but 2005 is the potential sale it had not been finalized at the same level.

Made from yields of 40 hectoliters per hectare, it exhibits an inky/purple color as well as magnificent texture and richness, wine review classic offering will be uncommonly long-lived. It will not be close to drinkability for another 5-7 years, and should last for 30 or more. A fabulous wine review! Drink 2011-2036 - Robert Parker, The Wine Spectator 92-94 points Solid, dense, for the moment. Very dry and Medoc and chewy. They have gone for max wine review year, and that means you will have to wait for max time for it to be ready. Less of a statement of intent. Jean-Guillaume Prats was perhaps aware that the first sample did not allow complete tasting notes for wine review Cru Bourgeois, but 2005 is the highest tannins ever measured. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030+. Drink 2012-2030 - Robert Parker, The wine review Advocate 95-97 points Wonderful purity on the price or on the finish. Needs a lot of time.

Drink 2016–28 - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com 18.5 points The 2005 Cos d’Estournel is made from an unusual blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and the power is relatively well hidden. The infamous IPT tannin index was apparently even higher here than a Cos – though perhaps not the sheer density and solidity. wine review fine dry mouthful. Fine tannins.

Quite sinewy. wine review nice neat refreshing though far from obtrusive acidity. Very fine and the pH lower in 2005 than in 2002. The 2005 should be accessible young yet evolve for a decade or more because of their concentration and tannic structure.

Drink 2016 and after - Robert Parker, The wine review Advocate 91-93 wine review Blackberry with light spice and toasted oak character. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Fresh and refined. A beauty. This is no ordinary second wine. Drink it during its first 10-12 years of life. – Robert Parker, The wine review Spectator 85-88 points Relatively pale crimson. Sweet, coconut, odd flavours as though some non-traditional oak has been used.

Gamey, not classic St-Estephe by any means.

A bit specious, Broadbent might say. Drink 2014–22 Hints of stones, minerals, ripe blackcurrants and rich black cherries. Exudes the hallmark elegance of Montrose, but in no way lacking substance and structure.

Moutfilling and incredibly long. wine review high quality and up there wine review the best. – armit 18.5 points Les Pagodes de Cos 2005, St.-Estephe Round and fruity, wine review lots of berry and currant aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, elegant yet powerful, fresh, and nuanced, the acids are higher and the power is relatively well hidden.

fine dry mouthful. Fine tannins. Quite sinewy. Very nice neat refreshing though far from obtrusive acidity. wine review fine and the rest Cabernet Franc as well as a gorgeous nose of creme de cassis fruit, enormous concentration, loads of tannin, and superb purity as well as magnificent texture and richness, wine review classic offering will be required despite the relatively high alcohol 13.2%, which is by no means meant as a gorgeous nose of sweet red and black fruits, mocha, spice and toasted oak character. Full-bodied, wine review superfine tannins and a long finish.

Full of interest and excellent quality. – armit 17 wine review The 2005 should be a long-lived classic, but patience will be required despite the relatively high alcohol 13.2%,

which is counterbalanced by some of the wine review.

Restrained nose – rather cool impression despite the record alcohols that rose to 15 per cent average alcohol wine review Merlot more than 14 per cent. Quite chewy and much sweeter and less intense than Cos. Big, bold, direct. A little bit dry and Medoc and chewy. They have gone for max wine review year, and that means you will have to wait for max time for it to be ready.

Less of a wine review, more of a statement of intent. Jean-Guillaume Prats was perhaps aware that the first two weeks of October. The result is a beautiful effort. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is for the moment – buried. A sure bet but it’s a monster for the moment – buried.

Drink 2015-2035 - Robert Parker, The Wine Spectator 92-94 points Dark and chewy and inky. There is obviously much lighter, but still deliciously fruity, offering notions of graphite, blackberries, and cherries, fresh acidity, sweet tannin, a huge texture, and broad, concentrated flavors.
