Punteggi dei critici
20 Rene Gabriel
Unglaublich, dicht, fast schwarz, undurchdringliche Mitte. Viel Würze, mehr Würze wie Frucht im Moment, Rauch, Trüffel, ein Hauch Korinthen, Mokka, dunkle Edelhölzer, Havannakiste, extrem tiefschürfend, erinnert nicht wenig an seinen eigenen 2003er. Im Gaumen monumental, deutlich fordernde Adstringenz, nicht masochistisch, aber doch verlangend, die fleischigen Tannine sind mit erstem Schmelz umgeben und zeigen so die Sonderklasse der eigenen Gerbstoffe, im Finale schon fast dramatisch mit ellenlangem Nachklang. Von der Grösse her am ehesten eventuell mit dem 1989er zu vergleichen. Doch dieser wirkt halt leider von der Vinifikation her improvisiert. Dieser 2009er ist von der Machart her absolut perfekt. warten (2019 - 2060)
100 Robert Parker
A brilliant wine that stands out as one of the high points of the vintage, the 2009 Montrose unwinds in the glass with a rich and incipiently complex bouquet of dark berries, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, framed by a deftly judged touch of new oak. Full-bodied, broad and enveloping, it's a velvety, layered and impressively dynamic wine that's deep and concentrated, exhibiting terrific balance and a long, resonant finish. While it is still five or six years away from showing all its cards, I have drunk this benchmark for contemporary Montrose with immense pleasure three times this year. In style, it's hard to find an obvious comparison (and I have drunk Montrose back to 1895), but I would be inclined to invoke a fresher, more complete and more powerful version of the estate's very successful 2003.

A bit of a brute, with a very chewy bittersweet ganache, tobacco and roasted fig core splayed open right now by a dagger of roasted apple wood, allspice and cedar. Long and dense through the finish, with a strong singed iron edge. The stuffing is certainly there, but this will take a while to come together as it's running unbridled right now. Proves you can still get classic old-school Bordeaux. Best from 2020 through 2040. 17,000 cases made. –JM
Produttore
Château Montrose
Producendo Bordeaux eccezionali anno dopo anno, questa proprietà di 95 ettari, Château Montrose, è classificata Deuxième Cru nella classificazione di Saint-Estèphe. Appena a nord di Pauillac, Montrose è situato in un appezzamento ghiaioso e ben drenato lungo l'estuario della Gironda per oltre un chilometro. Il microclima locale, unico a Montrose, mitiga le temperature, proteggendo le viti dal gelo devastante e dalle ondate di calore altrettanto distruttive. Questi vigneti sparpagliati, piantati sui terroir vinicoli più privilegiati del mondo, sono di proprietà di Martin e Olivier Bouygues dal 2006. Dal 2012 gestisce la proprietà Hervé Berland, l'ex amministratore delegato di Mouton Rothschild. Questo spettacolare Château di Saint-Estèphe produce tre vini immensi, potenti, fitti e longevi. Il vino principale, Montrose, è un rosso carnoso, monumentale e persuasivo.
