2016 La Dame de Montrose, St-Estèphe

2016 La Dame de Montrose, St-Estèphe

A brilliant Dame de Montrose this is rather tense and zipped up with a lovely focus. There are layers of complexity with notes of cedar, cassis, wild herbs and liquroice root. Extremely impressive and long term, great energy while maintaining lift.

Tasting notes

Exceptionally deep blackish crimson. Not especially expressive on the nose but really deep and intense on the palate Very dense for a second wine but with a good raciness and energy. Rather elegant and flattering without resorting to sweetness. Quite cool on the end. Lighter and less dense than the grand vin.

17/20

A linear and fine rendition of Montrose’s second wine with blueberry and blackberry character. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a juicy finish. Structured. Racy.
