2019 La Dame de Montrose St. Estephe (750ml)

"93 out of 100...Currant, blackberry and chocolate aromas and flavors. Medium-to full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Plenty going on. Second wine. 64% merlot and 36% cabernet franc. Drink after 2024." - James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

"91 out of 100...The 2019 La Dame de Montrose, which I tasted in June and September 2021, has a fresh mulberry, black plum and granite-scented bouquet that is quite precocious; touches of morel appear in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, quite structured and almost Pauillac-like, thanks to veins of graphite toward the finish provided by the 48% Cabernet Sauvignon. Saline on the aftertaste, though not tremendously long, this is a very promising Deuxième Vin." - Neal Martin, Vinous.com
