Description

This is a really super effort: engaging and atypical of the great commune of St Estèphe. Modern and pure, it is a perfect expression of modern Ch. Montrose. The sweetness of the tannin, the extraordinary purity of fruit and the intense aromatics suggest a year of great ripeness. Fragrant, pretty and beguiling, this provides a really enjoyable glass of wine.

Full-bodied, it exhibits superb concentration, sweet tannin, and a multi-layered, textured, full-bodied mouth-feel. The sweet, perfumed nose is so, so enticing and the palate simply doesn't disappoint.
