iDealwine En Primeur Tasting Note:“The wine revels aromas of violets, iris, cocoa and chocolate. We especially like the notes of plum, cherry and blackberry. On the palate, the initial drop is subtle with silky tannins. Château Montrose stands out with its amazing concentration and superb structure. The wine’s beautifully balance and possesses a long, complex finish. ”

Wine Advocate tasting note: Majestic, opulent, the nose impresses with the striking purity of its fruit, flowers and earthy notes. This purity continues on the palate, immaculate, sublime, like divine light shining through a cathedral. The whole is very fine, superbly defined, dazzlingly long and irresistibly delicious. “
