Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 97 AG.
"he 2014 Montrose is without question one of the standout wines of the vintage. Black cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and lavender are some of the many aromas and flavors that open up in the glass. But the 2014 is a much deeper wine than just a bunch of descriptors can conjure. In 2014, Montrose is a wine of exceptional finesse and polish. The late-ripening vintage allowed for perfect maturation of the tannins and resulted in a silky wine that exudes class and pedigree. The 2014 is not an obvious or bombastic Montrose, but rather a wine of sublime enchantment. Don't miss it. Both wines from Montrose show why Saint-Estèphe is one of the bright spots in 2014. Winemaker Vincent Decup gave the 2014s 21-23 days on the skins and noted that fermentations were slow to finish. Overall, the 2014s at Montrose are remarkably polished and silky. While the tannins are present, they are also nearly buried by the pure intensity of the fruit." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Feb 2017
