{"product_id":"montrose-2023-6-pack-owc-750ml","title":"Montrose 2023 6-Pack OWC 750mL","description":"JD100 One of the wines of the vintage, the 2023 Château Montrose sports a vivid purple hue as well as awesome aromatics of crème de cassis, fresh blackcurrants, graphite, crushed stone, tobacco, and violets. It's medium to full-bodied and has a concentrated, layered, seamless mouthfeel, flawless balance, fine polished tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish. Based on 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc and aged 18 months in 60% new French oak, it stays in the more aristocratic style of the vintage and is an utterly sensational, deep, multi-dimensional Montrose. It's one for the ages, yet I suspect it will be approachable within a reasonable time frame as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nRP99+ Just as it was from barrel, the 2023 Montrose is one of the most compelling wines of the vintage. Unwinding in the glass with a brooding bouquet of cassis, violets and burning embers, it's full-bodied, with prodigious mid-palate density and dimension, its concentrated core of fruit underpinned by abundant but ultra-refined tannins and lively acids. Broad, penetrating and persistent, it's a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. This is a very serious wine, carrying plenty of structure; but while it will certainly require some patience, today's more precise extraction and élevage choices mean that it will not mandate the 20-30 years of deferred gratification that were once the norm at this address, even if I'm convinced the 2023 will be just as long-lived as the classics of the past.","brand":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50301474504941,"sku":"BDX:MON:MONT-PK06-2023-F0L0C0","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/montrose-2023-6-pack-owc-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
