Chateau Montus Prestige 2000 Madiran

Montus is an imposing wine that reminds one of the old school classics of Bordeaux, yet with more iron and bloody intensity. This is only just entering its drinking window, such is the concentration, intensity and weight of this top bottling from Alain Brumont. A great alternative to classed growth Bordeaux, or even top Rhone, it still needs food and a couple of hours in a decanter at least.
