Stellar nose. Smoke, leather, truffle, bbq, super mineral, mint, forest floor, cassis, mineral, so clean, loads of cedar and pine, palate is even a bit young. So juicy and complex. Mineral and fresh. Big tannic spine. Complex and long. Can still use some age. Gorgeous now.

02 Chateau Montrose is quite a lovely wine. I often think of Montrose as having feminine qualities - a beautiful, floral, elegant wine. This 2002 has perfume/flowers on the nose. The medium bodied wine finishes with gravel/mineral. Incredibly well balanced. Decanted for 4 hours

Dark rubi robe, no color evolution, reticent nose of cedar, tobacco and dark fruits. Its a small vintage but the wine is balanced and elegant, drinks well, with these more prominent tannins in better vintages, and lacking a bit of complexity. Its still one of the better 2002 bordeaux we had.
