The dark ruby/purple-colored, slightly austere and angular 2011 Montrose possesses a more masculine style with firm tannin, medium body, and cassis, black currant and earth notes. The wine tails off slightly on the palate leaving an acidic, tangy character. It will benefit from several more years of cellaring, and should last for 15+ years thereafter. (89+) Score: 89 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2017-2032 01 April 2014 |

63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Very dark, black core. Not very aromatic, touch of coffee and graphite. Powder fine and elegant tannins. Fresh, dry but finely layered, lots of very fine layers. Dry finesse and long too but needs lots of time. (JH) 12.85% Score: 17 - 18 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2022-2035 16 April 2012 |
