Fruit is still there! One of my favorites! Bob Foley is as good a winemaker as there is on the planet! Big, fruit driven, plum and rich, but incredibly balanced. Just so good!! — 6 years ago

Classic claret. 89 and humming. Still needs years for tertiary flavors to emerge. Can't beat it with a rare prime rib in the background. — 9 years ago

We clearly had better bottles on the 2 cases we polished over the years. But was still great claret. Those who think St Estephe is rustic need to try Montrose 1970. All about finesse and elegance. Thank you NY ! — 3 years ago
