This comment appeared on Mark Squire's Bulletin Board
recently and it spelled to the letter what we have been preaching for the
last six months. Our advise, to any collector/consumer with disposable
income, is to seriously look at the following wines to purchase over the
next few weeks because these are the ones that will be much harder to
find at good prices.
Robert Parker, April 14th 2006..."Prices will be very high for the 2005
firsts($5,000+ in USA dollars,Petrus and Ausone probably pushing
$7500-10,000 by year end)...and smart money will go back and re-
examine 2003,2000,1996,1995,and 1990"

A legendary wine from a legendary vintage. It would be foolish not to pack a cellar with all the great 2000 Bordeaux and Montrose is most definately a "must have". The wine has all the components to be as great as the magic 1990, 1989 and 1961.
"This estate has frequently hit the bull's eye over recent vintages, and the 2000 Montrose is the finest effort produced since the compelling 1990 and 1989. This gigantically sized, tannic, backward effort boasts a saturated inky purple color followed by a huge nose of acacia flavors, crushed blackberries, creme de cassis, vanilla, hickory smoke, and minerals. Extremely full-bodied, powerful, dense, and multi-layered, this unreal Montrose should last for 30+ years. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, this is a special wine that has exceptional purity and length. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040." 97 points Robert Parker
