Jancis Robinson November - 2016
Jancis Robinson
Served blind initially. Subtle, dry but gorgeously smooth-textured with fully evolved tannins. Really fresh with great drive and energy - almost like a fully ripe Cabernet Franc. Savoury, leathery, firm yet round. Admirably long. No hurry to drink this.

A serious combination, Montrose and the 1982 vintage. And so it proved to be. Although not tasted recently, harmonious, excellent flavour but its ripe sweetness hardly denting its tannic astringency.

(2006) Intense aromas of kirsch, currant and spice follow through to a full-bodied palate, with round, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is complex, changing on the nose and palate. Layered and structured. Will improve for many years to come.

 I expected more ripeness and mid palate weight from this great vintage in a magnum. Rather, this wine is restrained, elegant and quite mellow rather than exuberant. Find cedar, tobacco and earthy flavors with tannins that are supple and velvety. Enjoy now.

Jean-Marc Quarin December - 2000
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red. Medium intensity. Evolved. Clean. Medium intensity. Discreet. Animal touch. Powerful. Powerful. Warm. Cooked fruits. A bit cardboardy? Once again, this entry could be that of a Saint-Julien, then the wine evolved in the mouth, less refined than Gruaud Larose, smooth and melting with a slightly cardboardy taste. Fatty and enveloped tannicity for the vintage, with a tender taste and low acidity.

Château Château Montrose
Château Montrose

Château Montrose, a second growth in the 1855 classification, is a 68-hectare wine estate in Bordeaux located in Saint-Estèphe.

The grape variety composition of Château Montrose consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (25%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The grapes undergo a long fermentation of 25 to 30 days. The wine matures for 19 to 22 months in oak barrels, 50% of which are new. Château Montrose wines are intense, massive, and complex. They develop aromas of ripe fruits, spices, and tobacco. Château Montrose wines are both powerful and dense, characteristic of the great wines of Saint-Estèphe. The second wine is called La Dame de Montrose. 

The great vintages of Château Montrose include, among others: 1953, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1989, 1990, 2009
