2021 La Dame de Montrose, St-Estèphe

Tasted April 2022. A great second wine in 2021. Ripe, plump fruit character but fresh and stony on the finish showing classic St Estephe character. Open and expressive now, with hints of graphite development emerging. 13%

Tasting notes

The 2021 La Dame de Montrose is a very serious second wine. Dark, pliant and super-expressive, the 2021 possesses notable depth and class to burn. Dark red/black fruit, graphite, spice, new leather and incense build as this deep, beautifully resonant Saint-Estèphe gains volume in the glass. This is impeccably done.

The 2021 La Dame de Montrose is a worthy counterpoint to the grand vin, shedding a touch of youthful reduction in the glass to reveal aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with exotic spices, orange zest and petals. Medium to full-bodied, suave and sensual, it's layered and complete, with a lively, charming profile.
