Vinous
The 1984 Montrose might be the only occasion whereby this vintage might surpass the previous vintage, depending upon the bottle, of course. Picked between 26 September and 12 October, the great David Peppercorn MW wrote that this vintage contains 85% Cabernet Sauvignon since the Merlot was affected by coulure. Boasting more fruit than you would expect, one finds touches of mulberry, faded rose petals and light mulberry scents. It's a little slight in style, but considering the season, it's forgivable. The palate has a hint of Japanese wakame, tincturing the light red fruit with a strong attenuation on the finish. Yet this is definitely one of the best wines of a poor growing season. Tasted at the château.Neal Martin6th June 2024
