Getting ready for a Montrose vertical dinner on Thursday night, thought I would open this to see how it was evolving. Went beautifully with grilled marinated pork tenderloin and roasted fingerling potatoes.
2 Hours in the decanter. Elegant nose of ripe blackberry, dark earth, cedar, leather and white pepper. Great balance of strucure and fruit on the nose. A little less giving on the palate - still quite primary and not showing the naunce of the nose. Not harsh or tannic, but not fully evolved either. A great off vintage wine and will only get better with another 5 years of bottle age
