2012 Château Montrose, Cru Classé St-Estèphe

2012 Château Montrose, Cru Classé St-Estèphe

While, like many others, Château Montrose define this vintage as being "challenging", they are also confident that it ranks among the best in recent years. It is a monumental wine and one of the most youthful wines that we tasted during our visit. Darkly brooding on the nose, but opening out a little on the palate, with an immediate burst of freshness. This is all about structure however at this early stage, with ripe-but-bold tannins and stony mineral notes framing a core of intense dark berry fruit. The epitome of St-Estèphe austerity.
