A pristine, late-release ex-chateau bottle.
Mind-boggling. Look at that colour….
100% sure that I would miss the vintage by 25 years or so….. — 3 months ago

Dark, brilliant in colour. Notes of tabac, wood, and dried plums. Elegant and balanced. Palate is extremely rich, and after 2 hours of decanting, the tanins are smooth. A different level of Syrah, full body .
The wine is from 4 steep sloped parcels in Hermitage : Bessards 30% ,Greffieux 30% , Murands 20%, Hermite 20%. From vines of 40 to 90 years old.
The wine matured 42 months in new oak. — 9 months ago

Lush green herb/fruit aromas: lemongrass, key lime, chives. Good viscosity on palate, delicious acidity, more rounded finish. Excellent #montereycounty #sauvignonblanc . — 3 years ago

Very unusual. Light and doesn't hold up well to dishes but great by itself. Not sweet like most Riesling. Notes of honey, wildflower, and green apple. — 4 years ago

Continues to please, 4th year in a row where we’ve enjoyed this wine at the vineyard with a Margherita pizza. 🍕 🍷 Delicious with notes of strawberry, watermelon and citrus. Recommend both the wine and a summer time visit to Ex Nihilo and Chaos Bistro in Lake Country, Okanagan. — 2 years ago

Again, thanks neighbour!! 14 years on and this has aged beautifully. Rust-coloured, so balanced and round and full and voluptuous.
A real treat. — 6 years ago

What better companion to hachis permentier than a trusted chateneuf du pape. Still too young, it can use a couple of years of cellar time.
Edit: went from young to very drinkable in approx 45 minutes. Seamless C9DP. — 9 months ago

The 2010 Montrose is one of the highlights of the Icons of Bordeaux dinner. It has a show-stopper nose with powerful, intense, mineral-rich black fruit, becoming quite floral with aeration. Potpourri hints complement tobacco notes. The palate is fresh, vibrant and weighty, yet paradoxically, it has wonderful finesse. There is a symmetry about this Montrose, coupled with a tremendous length that leaves you wanting more. Brilliant. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)

With Podere Pradarolo, it’s all extreme. Extremely long macerations for all the whites and Rose’s. Ex Alba sees 45 days on its Trebbiano skins then heads to the barrels. This is less than a fourth the time Vej sees on skins by the way.

I prefer Ex Alba. It’s less hops and more florals. Spiced citrus bitter peppery apple cider vinegar tea. — 6 years ago
