1978 Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe
MYRIAD FACES
I was shocked by the evolution of this 39 year old bottle! It started off really unimpressive, nose of dry wood, palate was thin. It only took 15 minutes to proof that my initial opinion was wrong: it turned into a cheerful kid thereafter with light body of sweetness. Then prime time hit, with girl next door character, so sweet and lovely, totally took me by surprise! However just like a lady, the best period faded quickly, turned more matured later with ripe fruits. Amazing evolution!
