Château Montrose 2012 Barrel Sample (Saint-Estèphe)

Country: France / Barrel Sample
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Montrose / Saint-Estèphe

94–96. Barrel sample. This is a big, powerful, fruity wine that has restraint from its dense tannins. It’s foursquare, chunky in character, already balanced, the tannins merging with the acidity. There is great aging potential.
