Château Montrose--Vintage 1982
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
Levels: three base of neck, one top shoulder. US import strip labels; six slightly bin-soiled labels; two scuffed capsules. In original wooden case.
"The 1982 is nowhere near the quality of some of the Montroses made afterwards (1989, 1990, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2008), but it has aged better than expected having developed more complexity and richness than barrel samples suggested. Sweet kirsch, black currant, crushed rock, and floral notes are followed by a full-bodied, opulent, fleshy wine displaying no hard edges. It still possesses beautifully pure fruit as well as good body, but it should be consumed over the next 5-8 years" RP, Wine Advocate # 183, June 2009
