Chateau Montrose 1995

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

An explosively rich, exotic, fruity Montrose, the 1995 displays even more fat and extract than the 1996. There is less Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1995 blend, resulting in a fuller-bodied, more accessible and friendlier style. The wine exhibits an opaque black/ruby/purple color, as well as a ripe nose of black fruits, vanillin, and licorice. Powerful yet surprisingly accessible (the tannin is velvety and the acidity low), this terrific example of Montrose should be drinkable at a young age.

Winespectator (89)

Perhaps not the best Montrose, but very good. Blackberry and dried cherry aromas have bark undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins. Slightly alcoholic on the medium finish. Needs time to come together.
