| Does anyone have Robert Parker Scores for the 1989 Montrose?
WS gave it 95 & more recently a 93. | | |

| Bordeaux Book (1998) Robert Parker 96 points Drink 2002-2032
An outstanding Montrose, the 1989 is one of the vintage's stars. It possesses an opaque dark ruby/purple color, a sweet nose of minerals, black fruits, cedar, and wood, dense, medium to full-bodied, highly extracted flavors, low acidity, and moderate tannin in the long finish. While it appears to be closing down far more quickly than the legendary 1990, it has layers of sweet fruit as well as an elevated level of glycerin. Give it 5-7 years of cellaring, and drink it over the subsequent 2-3 decades. Last tasted 3/97

| | I cannot imagine that this wine is ready to drink. Of all the St. Estephe's, Montrose needs the most age, that and Calon-Segur. Unless you've got close to a case, I'd urge you to lay it down. | | | |
