...the 2007 Montrose has a crisp, earthy, tobacco-scented bouquet with sage and clove developing in the glass—clearly a Saint Estephe that is determined to succeed in an off-vintage, which this estate is masterful at doing. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin... there is undeniably plenty of freshness and a welcome touch of spice towards the finish... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Medium to dark Ruby in colour. Red and black fruits, cassis, some sweatiness on the nose, cedar, sage and a touch of pipe tobacco. Terrific fruit considering that 2007 was a lesser vintage ie. 6/10. 64% Cabernet, 30% Merlot (quite high for the left bank), 5% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. In summary a good 2nd Growth for the vintage. One of the 1001 wines.

2007 - Young, but showing excellent secondary characteristics and beautiful acid

Dark ruby, high tannins, liquorice and cedar notes. Light bodied, such a joy to drink!

Felt a little tight and never really opened up even after decanting several hours. Hard to judge yet.

It could be that we've already had a bottle of wine, but it is an exceptional red - full bodied and medium spiced!
