Bonjour et merci pour l'animation du thread sur Dame 2003...
Trop tard, j'ai levé l'option sur 24 Montrose à 21€ TTC.
Voici un petit comparatif 1990/2003 :
1990 :
90 Parker : "Given the monumental proportions of the 1990 Montrose, it is not surprising that the property's "second" wine is also outstanding. When I tasted this gem, I jokingly asked the proprietors, the Charmolue family, if their selection process had not been too severe! This densely colored (dark plum and purple) wine is not as forbiddingly backward as its bigger sibling, as the nose offers scents of earth, cassis, licorice, and spices. Full-bodied, super-rich, but less tannic than the 1990 Montrose, La Dame ranks with the 1982 Forts de Latour and 1989 Bahans-Haut-Brion as one of the best second wines I have tasted. Anticipated maturity: 1995-2005."
2003 :
89-91 Parker: "One of the finest second wines I tasted (only 13% of the production was utilized), the 2003 La Dame de Montrose, a sleeper of the vintage, exhibits a dense purple color along with sweet mulberry and blackberry fruit, a fat, opulent palate impression, and a long, richly fruity finish. It should drink well for 10-12 years"
Norton (USA) vends sa Dame 90 à 135US$ (!!!) et ChateauClassic à 56€...
Au niveau des enchères, Dame 90 est parti de 18€ en 1993, à connu un pic à 55€ en 2000/2001, et connait maintenant une lente descente pour coter 40€ en 2003 reflétant ainsi le pic de maturité de ce vin. (Hors frais d'adjudication de 15% du prix à ajouter...)
Hors aspect "finance" et "Parker", 21€ me semble être un bon rapport prix/plaisir... plutôt qu'un bon rapport qualité/prix.
Cordialement...
