James Suckling 99-100
Wow. This is the essence of Montrose, with blackberry,
blackcurrant, crushed stone and earth. I have not tasted a
Montrose like this in 42 years of my career. It has a much more vertical nature to it, with layered tannins that go very
deep and long, The muscular structure and intensity is
something else. This is a new era for Montrose. It is now made from only 45 hectares of vineyards right in front of
the chateau, instead of about 60 before. 75% cabernet
sauvignon, 21% merlot and 4% cabernet franc
