THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Tasted at the château, the 1999 Montrose is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot picked between 16 September and 1 October. It has an attractive bouquet with black fruit, iodine, tar and sandalwood: fresh and vibrant with commendable focus. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, masculine as usual for Montrose with a fine grip in the mouth. There is backbone and structure to this Montrose, counterpoised with a keen line of acidity and lovely cedar and pencil box notes towards the almost Pauillac-like finish. Whilst not the most exciting Montrose on the block, the 1999 will satiate those who like classic Saint Estèphe that is conservative, yet would complement whatever is at the dinner table. Tasted September 2016."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Bright, fresh, crisp and ready to go, this has a lot of weight and density for the vintage. The wine is medium/full bodied, with a focus on red fruits, cedar, tobacco, wet earth, smoke, cigar wrapper and spiced cherries. There is some leafy notes, herbs and crunchy, red fruits in the finish, as you'd expect with a cool vintage. You can drink this is now, or give it a couple more years, but I am not sure there is much if anything to be gained by waiting."
