2019 Château Montrose

Description

98    Jane Anson for Decanter
“Oh this is good, it steals up on you with real depth of flavor, stately and concentrated in a way that reminds me of a 1996 or a 2016. Extremely measured, very clear that this is going to age effortlessly, it is extremely discreet and yet packed with persistent flavors. A masterclass in the flavors and aromatics that you expect in a great Medoc wine — slate, crushed stones, savoury blackcurrant, liquorice, hints of smoke and cold ash. After five minutes in the glass, the sweeter berry fruit comes out, and the whole thing is sappy and mouthwatering, and makes you smile.” (May 2020)
