1970 Ch. Montrose

Quite deep purple colour with medium aromas of damp earth, violet, black plum, licorice, and toasted bread. Dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied and quite high tannin which is fine-grained in nature. Medium intensity flavours of black cherry, violet, bell pepper, smoke and tea. Slightly longer than medium length with black cherry finish. (91) Decent and fine, still shows good complexity and intensity after more than 40 years. Good development and can be drunk nicely.

這酒是一個典型例子去解釋什麼叫"耐藏"。經歷四十多年，這酒仍有一定的果味，一定的發展，一定的餘韻，一定的複雜性和一定的酒力。單寧仍充足，好味。
