The 2005 Montrose continues to show brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with notes of blackcurrant, red fruits, loamy soil, black truffles and cigar ash. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's still brooding and tannic, with lively acids and an imposing chassis of structuring—and artery-cleansing—extract. Still an adolescent, it's one of the last unrepentantly old-school vintages of Montrose, and Médoc purists couldn't own enough. While this remains a very youthful wine, it is now apparent that the 2005 will, at maturity, surpass the 1989 and 1990.

The 2005 Montrose has a wonderful bouquet that has opened up since I last tasted it just prior to the pandemic. Its gorgeous pure blackberry, boysenberry, menthol and pencil lead bouquet is clearly less rustic than some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied, quite powerful and intense with a slightly medicinal entry, a minty style (a feature I have not seen with respect to numerous bottles in the past) and ample grip on the finish. It's no shy retiring flower by a long stretch—if you seek a more bombastic Montrose then this is where to come. Tasted at the château.
