Scores + Notes
A tough, chewy, dense and leathery style, with the fruit buried underneath the tannins. The currant and spice notes take on a gamy quality and the taste is a bit awkward. Drink in 1998. James Suckling, Wines Spectator 1991.
Wine Spectator Score: 85/100
The 1988 Cos Labory is a pleasant, well-colored, tannic, medium-bodied wine, with fine balance and length. It should provide decent rather than inspired drinking. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Feb 1993, www.robertparker.com

In 2013, a year where tasting through the vintage was more of a challenge than usual, Montrose made a wine, indeed three wines: Tronquoy-Lalande, Dame de Montrose and Montrose itself, that seemed to have come from an entirely different vintage. The wines had weight, sweet fruit, balance and more. I asked Hervé Berland what the trick was. He just smiled ...
