Château Montrose Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014
The 2013 Chateau Montrose has an attractive, clear and glittering ruby colour. The nose, still slightly closed, is very fresh and minty, marked by raspberry aromas along with more toasted notes and a touch of caramel. From a clean and bright attack, the straight palate shows balance in the middle, with good grip revealing liquorice notes. The tannins are silky and elegant.

The 2019 Montrose is very clearly one of the wines of the vintage. Rich, inky and towering in concentration, the 2019 possesses off the charts intensity and tons of structure to back it up. Succulent black cherry, plum, tobacco, gravel and licorice infuse the 2019 with striking depth. The 2019 is not quite as opulent as some recent vintages, and that's a good thing. Readers will find a regal wine that marries elegance with power. Unforgettable. Tasted two times. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2022)

This could garner a perfect score in about a decade.... gorgeous blackberry, raspberry, cedar and orange sorbet scents that are extremely pure and refined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very precise acidity and layers of crisp black fruit laced with vanilla from the new oak at the moment. That will be subsumed in time. What you have here is a very precise, multi-layered, almost sensual Montrose that is going to delight many for years to come. This is highly recommended--one of the finest Left Bank wines this vintage.

The 2014 Montrose has an engaging and complex bouquet with black fruit, a pencil box, pressed violet and warm earth scents, gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with excellent tannins that frame the mineral-rich black fruit (in fact, this is one of the most mineral-laden 2014 Left Banks I tasted.) The oak is seamlessly integrated, and the finish has real panache. Beautifully, and it's just entering its drinking window. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year-On tasting.

Blend of 61% Cab Sauv, 30% Merlot, 8% Cab Franc & 1% Petit Verdot. Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruit aromas & herb notes. On the palate black raspberry & blackberry, currant-like, with tobacco, cacao and smoky oak notes. Fine polished tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy mineral tones, just starting to drink well but will last for the next decade+. Tasting Sample!

17+/20 (92+/100) В аромате тон задают специи - чёрный перец, гвоздика и лакрица; много спелых ягод черной смородины и черника, есть шоколад. Тельное с высокой, отдельно стоящей кислотностью. Танины густые, обволакивающие, ещё суховатые. Спелые чёрные ягоды и шоколад во вкусе. Очень молодо с большим потенциалом. #dfwe2018
