Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 La Dame de Montrose has a rather faded, dusty nose that needs more fruit. It feels a little fatigued. The palate is dry in the mouth, astringent and feels rather hollow on the finish. I did not like this deuxième vin from barrel and I am not particularly fond of it after ten years! Tasted January 2016.
Tasted blind. Lightly cheesy nose. A bit heavy and thick but no shortage of extract. Picked just a little too late? A bit lacking drive. (JR)
Magnum. Blackish pale crimson. Sweet, powdery nose that seems a little confected. Then pretty weak. I can’t really see the point of buying this when you could get something more rewarding for much less money, I’m afraid. (JR)
About the producer
Ch. Montrose is one of two Second Growths from Saint-Estèphe and one of the most consistent producers in Bordeaux. The wines from this property are both elegant and powerful, and some of the Médoc's most age-worthy .
