2019 Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru Classe, Saint-Estephe 1x750ml

Vinous 98

The 2019 Montrose has a razor-sharp bouquet, a melange of red and black fruit, touches of pencil box and cedar. Understated at first, it unfurls temptingly with each swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fine acidity, blood orange infusing the black fruit with pencil lead towards the finish that fans out with style. There is a sense of grandeur to this wine that is compelling. Montrose? Stunning. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. [Neal Martin, 28/02/2023]
