Description
This mature Montgros comes from Bodegas Montgros, a historic Spanish winery in Catalonia renowned for crafting elegant, long-lived reds that reflect the traditional character of the region. The wine displays a deep garnet-red colour with brick-orange highlights, reflecting over forty-five years of careful ageing. On the nose, it reveals aromas of dried black cherries, plum, gentle spice, leather, and subtle earthy notes of tobacco and forest floor. The palate is smooth and harmonious, with softened tannins carrying flavours of stewed dark fruits, hints of cocoa, and delicate herbal nuances. The finish is long, elegant, and balanced, highlighting the wine’s depth, finesse, and classic Catalan character.
Decanting: Stand the bottle upright for 2–3 days prior to opening to allow any sediment to settle. Decant slowly and carefully through a fine strainer, allowing 1–2 hours of gentle aeration before serving at 16–18°C. A fragile cork is very common with older bottles, where the wine has been in prolonged contact with the cork over many decades. We therefore recommend straining any cork fragments during the decanting process.
