The 2016 Montrose is a supremely gifted Saint-Estèphe. Very harmonious and precise on the nose, faint hints of mocha and freshly rolled tobacco are behind those floral scents, black rather than red fruit. The palate has very fine tannins, extraordinarily harmonious with a nigh-perfect line of acidity. There is a subtle crescendo that leaves you utterly smitten by its charms, a touch of graphite on the finish. I just have the feeling that this might close up for a while. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)

A little leaner on the mid-palate as expected from Saint Estephe. Musk, cedar, flint.

18+/20 (96+/100) Молодой аромат с нотами спелых ягод чёрной смородины, бузины и ежевики; тонами ментола, шоколада и графита. Тельное с высокой, не интегрированной кислотностью и сухими, вяжущими, но замшевыми по текстуре танинами. Молодо с великолепным потенциалом. Вкус чёрных ягод и поджаренного хлеба. Продолжительное послевкусие. Великолепно! #dfwe2018
