Rich and dense, with a youthful profile, it reveals layers of cassis, game, truffle, and liquorice, framed by firm tannins and a fresh, stony finish. Still evolving, this vintage shows great potential for those who appreciate a more austere, old-school Bordeaux.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 7, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 98\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: \u003cspan\u003eMar 01, 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2025-2065\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe 2005 Montrose continues to show brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with notes of blackcurrant, red fruits, loamy soil, black truffles and cigar ash. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's still brooding and tannic, with lively acids and an imposing chassis of structuring—and artery-cleansing—extract. Still an adolescent, it's one of the last unrepentantly old-school vintages of Montrose, and Médoc purists couldn't own enough. While this remains a very youthful wine, it is now apparent that the 2005 will, at maturity, surpass the 1989 and 1990.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVivino | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 7, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVivino 4.3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt has a fine and elegant robe with a beautifully intense and dark garnet.
