Written Notes

This Montrose 1898 caused Frank to have a silent orgasm, I think. The nose was amazing; there was perfect balance of nut, chocolate, cedar, spearmint and earth. It was warm, inviting and phenomenal. The palate was pure and beautiful with lots of chocolate, sweet baby's bottom, nut and this Krispy Kreme glaze, again in a chocolate way. The wine had a hedonistic, dessert-like quality to it, but it was far from dessert wine. Rich, velvety and long, this wine was fantastic, incredibly exotic and complex. It had a nose unlike any other, and even the 'lesser' bottle I liked. Thankfully, I had the better one. Along with the 1911, the 1898 won the award for 'most exotic'

An amazing wine from an exceptionally hot, early year (the one to which 2003 was compared in harvest date terms). Fantastically subtle but rich bouquet (much more youthful than the 1890). Rich, liquorice and rose-like again like the 1888. Absolutely classic Montrose. This tasted fresher and livelier than the much sweeter, heavier, still impressive 1920s vintages.
