1999 Ch Montelena Estate

[winoweenie]

From 375. YES>>>>>>I does occassionally buy a box of 375s so I dont force myself to drink more than the food needs to wash it down. As I had the Loring for lunch this was the perfect foil last nite. I haven't been drinking in the evenings of late but yesterday was a major bummer as my next door neighbor and friend Professor Bob passed on. We've been neighbors for 25 years and I did introduce him and his family into the wine scene. Back to the Monty. This is coming along beautifully. Have a box of Mags and 750s so this lil' sucker bodes well for the regular size. Brite med ruby. Lovely nose of flowers, currants, red cherries, and some nice earthy components. Solid entry, weighty center and a 4+ lapper finish. Still some fine-grained tannins that should carry the larger bottles another 2-6. 92/93. 30 on futures. 13.9% alc.WW
