It is a rather masculine, medium to full-bodied Montrose, with cassis, crushed rock and spice. This wine will need bottle age because of the tannin profile, should hit its prime in another 7-8 years, and last for another 20-25. This is another wine with the alcohol pushing an impressive 14% and a finished pH of 3.7 – two characteristics of a very ripe, high-quality vintage.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine Spectator:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94 points - \"Marked by its refined tannins and vibrant fruit, it's a vintage that beautifully articulates the character of Saint-Estèphe.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring Potential:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Château Montrose 2012 is an excellent candidate for medium to long-term cellaring.
