Château Montrose 1995 is a mature-vintage Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeuax red wine from the Saint-Estèphe Second Growth of Château Montrose. A veritable jewel of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, with a history that dates back as far as 1815, Montrose spans about 95ha of vineyards which are planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. All are farmed organically. "The 1995 Montrose is beginning to drink brilliantly, and the most recent bottle I pulled from my cellar is the finest I`ve encountered to date. Wafting from the glass with a classic bouquet of red and black currant fruit, rich loamy soil, cigar box and black truffles, it`s medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with terrific concentration, ripe tannins and lively acids. Seamless and complete, readers cellaring this wine should consider opening a few bottles." Wine Advocate, 2022
