On the nose, fruity and offers freshness, a fine floral side. It reveals notes of boysenberry and hints of small black fruits, morello cherry associated with small touches of blueberry, licorice as well as fine points of fresh tobacco, cardamom and a discreet touch of madagascar pepper. On the palate, fruity, fresh, mineraly, balanced and offers a good definition, juiciness, freshness, minerality, an acidic frame and a finely tightened tension, a beautiful matured fresh richness, density, a bit of obscurity, and an airy character. The wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy black currant, morello cherry and hints of small bright black berries combined with hints of fresh/pulpy raspberry, cornflower, zan, cardamine, a waft of incense, a hint of cardamom, a discreet hint of good coffee tinged bitterness, violet and a subtle hint of camphor in the background.
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Earthy, blackberries, herbs, licorice and roses are found in the nose. On the palate, the wine is packed with layers of dark red and black fruits, round, creamy tannins and a touch of roasted, leafy herbs in the mid-palate and in the finish. This baby Montrose is perfect to enjoy while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. Drink from 2023-2038.

The second wine of Château Montrose, the 2020 La Dame De Montrose is terrific, with a sunny, forward, medium-bodied style as well as lots of ripe red and black fruits, notes of sweet tobacco, sandalwood, and spice, supple tannins, and outstanding length. Open and complex, it’s going to shine for 15 years if well-stored. The blend is 49% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, checking in at the same alcohol as the Grand Vin, 13.4%.
