90 Robert Parker
The 2005 La Dame de Montrose is a gorgeous second wine. Dark ruby/purple, with sweet black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, soft tannins, and a round, generous, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, it is an excellent, soft wine to drink over the next 15 or so years.
16 Rene Gabriel
Tiefes Granat-Lila. tieferdiges Bouquet, viel Trüffelnoten und trockene Pflaumen, Teernuancen, mit keinem Anzeichen ein Zweitwein von der Nase her. Saftiger, erstaunlich angenehmer Gaumen im ersten Moment, dann aber doch mit Montose-Typischen Gerbstoffen im intensiven Rückhalt, zeigt sich etwas knochig, weil mehr Tannine wie Fleisch vorhanden ist. Wird immer burschikos bleiben. trinken (2010 - 2019)

Dark in color, with an impressive nose of crushed currant, mineral and spices. Full-bodied, with seamless tannins and an aftertaste of spice, sweet tobacco and berry. Best after 2011. 5,555 cases made. –JS
Producer
Château Montrose
Producing outstanding Bordeaux year after year, this 95-hectare property, Château Montrose is a classified Second Growth in the Saint-Estèphe hierarchy. Just north of Pauillac, Montrose is ideally-situated on a gravelly, well-drained plot that runs along the Gironde estuary for over a kilometer. The local microclimate, unique to Montrose works to mitigate temperatures, protecting the vines from devastating frosts as well as equally destructive heatwaves. The patchwork of a vineyard, planted on the world’s most privileged winegrowing terroirs, has been owned by Martin and Olivier Bouygues since 2006. In 2012 they brought in Hervé Berland, the former managing director of Mouton Rothschild to act as estate manager. This spectacular Saint-Estèphe château crafts three wines, they are immense, powerful, dense and long-lived. The leading wine, Montrose is a monumental fleshy, and persuasive red.
