Very good. Bottle 2 from Boston. Nice blend. Glad it made it back safe. Monty! Air BnB week, flight back corkscrewed the revenue — 9 years ago
Monty came in clutch with this grad gift. Plus the glass cork stopper. Did he get it from Liberty? — 10 years ago
2014 fresh as a daisy Monty. Great structure and fruit depth. Bright and easy to drink but possesses so much interest. Gorgeous — 10 years ago
Jan 1 2016 in Madrid. Best wine of trip. Full of fruity flavor, crisp and strong. Light-medium body. Harsh on first few sips.. Become acquainted as you go — 10 years ago
Complex nose. Iodine is a giveaway this is the full Monty. Rich. Viscous like motor oil in the glass. Kaleidoscope of fruit and acidity that rolls like a roller coaster. Killer. — 12 years ago
And now for something completely different...no, it's not a man with three buttocks. This is way better. (Apologies to the Monty Python troupe.) — 12 years ago
Full Monty. — 12 years ago
A very balanced wine light fruit spice and loamy earth Monty notes. A very light and smooth wine on the tongue balanced and fresh — 12 years ago
Didn't bring a red as we weren't planning on drink more than a btl, and that Leroy Monty did the trick, but our palates got hungry for some red, so looked at the half btl list(needed to drive back to SF) and chose this, great vintage and a solid producer. This is in a beautiful place right now, plenty of room for improvement, but complemented dinner just right. — 9 years ago
Earthy funk that gave way to supple leather and tar. — 10 years ago
Hard to be fair to this wine after coming off an 82 Monty . It's tightly wound currently with some lemon custard. a touch of oak , saline , stone fruit blossoms , herbs. One the palate the tart apple dominates with an acidic finish . I'm going to follow this over a couple days to be fair to it. — 11 years ago
Lots of acid and citrus, nice solid. Reminds me of Ravenau Les Clos. Very nice, yet don't get Monty. — 12 years ago
This wins over the Monty! — 12 years ago
Just ripe with slight Carmel nose yet with sharp clean acids and finishes a mineral length that rivals any Monty — 12 years ago
A Sicilian (orange) white that's completely different, and not in the Monty Python sense...as if we needed more evidence of @giustoocchipinti genius, dry, floral, dried apple, stark minerality. You can taste the clay amphorae in which these were made. Best ever match for sashimi. — 9 years ago
Drinks like a younger version, which means this can age for a lot longer.
On the nose, bell pepper, red fruit, black fruit (both still very ripe), tobacco leaf, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, vanilla.
The palate is more of the nose plus finely integrated tannins that leave a smooth finish.
I am biased towards Freemark Abbey. I do not care. Full monty. — 10 years ago
2014. Best Monty I've ever had. Ripe, inviting nose. Precise strawberry/raspberry, watermelon too (in a red wine!). Mineral, clean finish. This fucking good man. — 10 years ago
Light to medium gold color. Lighter and not as thick as the 86 Drouhin Monty. But just a good of a nose tho. Complex in the mouth. Great wine. — 11 years ago
Decently better than the same vintage full Monty nice detail but hard to hold very much longer being a 2007 — 11 years ago
