The 2004 Montrose has a slightly rustic bouquet but is quite charming. It offers mainly red fruit, bacon fat, undergrowth and peaty scents, which are very Saint-Estèphe in style. The palate is medium-bodied with melted tannins. It is savory and a little dry, especially towards the finish, though there is good weight, and it is well balanced. Perfect to drink now.

Tasted at Bordeaux Index annual 10-year on tasting from an ex-château bottle. This the best showing of the Montrose 2004 that I have encountered. It has a rounded and very generous bouquet with dusky, tertiary black fruit, saddle leather and a touch of sandalwood. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, edgy black fruit with a fine line of acidity. Good structure here with fine persistency towards the finish, this is a very natural, understated, classic Montrose that should drink well over the next 15 years. Tasted March 2014.

After a dismal showing at primeur at the Château, I expressed my concern that my sample was not representative on the day, something I told Mon. Delmas. Finally afforded an opportunity to taste in bottle, it served notice that my suspicions were well founded for this is totally different. It has a very lifted nose with great definition with notes of blackberry, earth, wild hedgerow and a faint tang of wet clay. The medium-bodied palate is very well poised with dense cedar-infused, tarry fruit. Very surly on the finish, this does not want to be prised open for another decade. The real Montrose finally stood up! Drink 2016-2030+. Tasted November 2008.

Sattes, dunkles Purpur, lila Schimmer. Süsses, nach Dörrpflaumen duftendes BOuquet, Teernoten, Lakritze, tief und wuchtig, nur einen kleinen Teil des Potenzials in der Nase offenbarend. Im Gaumen fest, noch vordergründige, körnige Tannine aufweisend, fleischig, markant Adstringenz, nachhaltig, viel Reserven, Potenzial für 18/20 Punkte ausreichend, aber erst in zehn Jahren wird sich weisein, ob die massigen Tannine irgendwie auch genussverträglich sind.

An impressive effort for the vintage, the 2004 Montrose possesses a deep ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a sweet nose of black fruits intermixed with notions of smoke, cold steel, earth, and subtle background wood. With excellent texture, a sweet ripeness, medium to full body, and moderate tannin, it should drink well for 15+ years. Also tasted: 2004 La Dame de Montrose (88)

Deep, bright ruby-red. Sexy, ripe aromas of currant, black plum, raspberry, smoked meat, mocha, jasmine, black olive and earth. Smooth in texture but vinous and bright, with a penetrating character to the flavors of plum, currant, mocha and tobacco. Finishes bright and fresh, with dusty, tactile tannins and a classic St. Estephe medicinal note. This tightened up with aeration.

Dark-colored, with beautiful spice, blackberry and licorice aromas. Full-bodied, round and velvety, with wonderful balance and a long, long finish. This is a Montrose that caresses your palate. Best after 2011. 26,665 cases made

Although the 2004 Montrose reveals dry, hard tannin, it comes across as a classically structured, backward effort with an opaque purple color as well as notes of black raspberries, flowers, cassis, and a hint of new wood. Made in a structured, masculine style, it is not a huge wine by Montrose’s standards. Moreover, it must take a back seat to the compelling 2003. Nevertheless, it is an outstanding, elegant yet substantial St.-Estephe that will handsomely repay cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020+.

Good ruby-red. Raspberry, black olive, smoke and game on the nose, with a hint of mint. Juicy, pure and sharply delineated; a classically structured if somewhat leaner vintage of Montrose with no shortage of material. Even if this is smaller-scaled than the 2005, it will still require a good decade of bottle aging.
