2003 Montrose St Estephe Red Blend
Condition:
(a blend of 62% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot) Bright red-ruby color. Complex, perfumed nose combines raspberry, licorice, tobacco, camphor and black olive. Gripping and authoritative on the attack, then dense, sappy and juicy in the middle palate, with fruit of steel and great definition and class. Extremely intense raspberry, currant and red licorice flavors. Finishes with powerful but noble tannins that reach the front teeth and succulent fruit that goes on and on. This simply does not miss a beat from start to finish. ST
