Château Montrose is a Second Growth wine producer situated in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, the northernmost of the Médoc communes. The 2001 vintage reveals aromas of red fruit, leather, and cedar, best appreciated after a brief decant. The palate is nicely integrated, showcasing red and cassis fruits, complemented by a robust structure. Secondary flavours of earth, cedar, and spice add complexity. Ready to be enjoyed now but has the potential to age gracefully for several more years.
93 Robert Parker
Tasted at the château, the 2001 Montrose is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot picked between 24 September and 9 October. It has quite a tightly wound bouquet that either needs a hefty decant or preferably, another 5-6 years in bottle. The scents that can be coaxed are attractive. blackberry, a touch of tar and pencil box, later Indian ink and cedar wood. The palate is medium-bodied with gently gripping tannin, a fine line of acidity and impressive harmony. This gains complexity towards the finish. Tensile, minerally and edgy, this is becoming a highly pleasurable Montrose that will surprise a few people. Sure, it does lack some persistence, however, keep an eye on this. Tasted September 2016. - Neal Martin

- (blend based on 62% cabernet sauvignon) Medium red-ruby. Aromas of roasted plum and nutty oak. Fat, sweet, broad and suave, with gentle flavors of redcurrant, plum and game. Aromatic and gentle in the mouth. Long, ripe finish features substantial but sweet tannins. Lovely claret.
