JEB DUNNUCK: "A perennial no-brainer, the 2019 Château Montlandrie sports a vivid purple hue as well as a gorgeous bouquet of juicy black cherries, blueberries, tobacco, and cedarwood, with some classic chalky minerality in the background. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has terrific purity of fruit, silky tannins, and a great finish. I’d be thrilled to have bottles in the cellar, and it should have 10-15 years of longevity."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Blueberries and dark cherries with walnuts and hazelnuts. Some nutmeg, too. Medium-bodied with firm, polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Very fine tannins. Drink after 2025, but already gorgeous."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Evoking smoky, graphite and spicy aromas, the 2019 Montlandrie has an exquisite earthy character followed by a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, a juicy texture and a slightly austere, delicate finish. This beautiful wine (a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a real potential to improve in the cellar."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Chocolate, licorice, forest leaf, flowers and plum nuances are all over the place in the nose and in the medium-bodied, silky, vibrant palate. The energetic finish expresses earthy red pit fruits and chocolate notes that linger. Drink from 2022-2035."
