The first vintage under new owner Martin Bouygues;who convinced Jean-Bernard Delmas to come out of retirement to produce this wine; the 2006 Montrose is an undeniable success. A blend of approximately two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon; one-third Merlot; and a tiny dollop of Petit Verdot; the most dramatic difference between the 2006; and wines made by the previous administration is that Jean Delmas produces wines with sweeter; silkier tannins; although analytically; they are as high as those found in the great Montrose vintages of the past. The 2006 is extraordinarily elegant and finesse-styled; but it exhibits stunningly concentrated; sweet blackberry and cassis fruit with hints of flowers and minerals. Full-bodied with a savory; expansive mid-palate as well as sweet; noble tannins; this beauty will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age; and should drink well for 20-25+ years.
