Castle Montrose - Saint-Estèphe 1998

Wine Advocate

90 / 100

byRobert Parkerthe4/30/2001

A classic effort, the 1998 Montrose exhibits a dense purple color in addition to a sweet nose of jammy cassis, licorice, earth, and smoke. It is a powerful and full-bodied wine with well-integrated tannin. Given Montrose's tendency to shut down, it is performing better out of bottle than I expected. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030.

Slinky and elegant, with lots of plum, tobacco and meat aromas. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a pleasant, fruity finish. Best after 2004. 16,375 cases made.

This is the finest offering I tasted from St.-Estephe. The tannin level has become better integrated, and the new saddle leather, steak tartare, earthy, plum, black cherry aromas reveal more ripeness as well as an element of sur maturite. It possesses luscious fruit, medium body, and a significant amount of Merlot in the blend. There is fine density in this pure, rich, surprisingly supple 1998 Medoc. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2016.

The 1998 is dark ruby/purple-colored, with an elegant, sweet nose of new saddle leather, roasted herbs, and black cherry and blackberry fruit. This medium-bodied effort does not display significant weight or volume, but it offers good richness, an elegant style, moderate tannin, and a sweet finish. The wine is lacking in intensity, but it is one of St.-Estephe's finest 1998s. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015.
