2020 Chateau Montrose
- From our International Marketplace - Dispatch within 4 months. Distributed by Borie Manoux SA
A serious wall of blueberry and blackberry compote, and a ton of savoury Cabernet sinew and freshness. This is a great Montrose, inky, broad-shouldered and structured. It needs time to aerate and open in the glass, then you see the precision, the heft, the chiselling of the fruits with a ton of graphite, cigar box and campfire smoke - huge persistency. This will need a long time and will reward patience. One of the few where a 1986, 2016 and 2010 comparison makes sense. A yield around 30hl/ha. 1% Petit Verdot, 3.86pH, IPT 80. 45% of the overall production. Read more

Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, opaque core, delicate rim brightening. Ripe black cherries, blackberries, delicate hints of liquorice, fine tobacco nuances. Medium-bodied, red berry, fresh acidity, vivid, demanding tannins, mineral on the finish, delicately leafy, shows good length, still needs some patience.
