Dieser herausragende Saint-Estèphe präsentiert sich mit einer dunklen, rubingranatfarbenen Robe und violetten Reflexen. In der Nase entfaltet sich ein komplexes Bouquet aus schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren und Blaubeeren, untermalt von feinen Noten von Schokolade, Lakritz und einer dezenten Kräuterwürze. Am Gaumen beeindruckt der Wein durch seine samtige Textur, die trotz der kraftvollen Struktur eine bemerkenswerte Eleganz aufweist. Die perfekt eingebundenen Tannine verleihen ihm Rückgrat, während Aromen von Pflaume, Gewürzen und Leder in einem langen, vielschichtigen Finale ausklingen. Ein Wein von außergewöhnlicher Tiefe und Finesse, der die charakteristische Handschrift des Châteaus meisterhaft zum Ausdruck bringt.
"A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2000 Montrose is medium to deep garnet in color, with a touch of brick. It charges out with ready-to-go notes of juicy plums, black cherry compote, and wild blueberries, opening out to a perfume of candied violets, camphor, rose oil, new leather, and fragrant soil. The medium-bodied palate is elegant and very fresh with soft, velvety tannins and bags of vibrant black and blue fruits, finishing long and perfumed. Gorgeous!"
"Just starting to open, it shows beautiful spices and dark fruit on the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied with ultra-fine, integrated tannins and an extremely complex, refined finish. Drink or hold."
"The 2000 Montrose is a straight-up gorgeous bottle of wine that while, still young, is offering up tons of pleasure. Classic Saint Estèphe notes of blackcurrants, damp earth, tobacco leaf, cedar, and hints of truffle all emerge from this dense, concentrated, powerful red that has the classic 2000 structure and richness. With sweet tannins, full body, impeccable balance, and a great, great finish, it’s at the early stages of its drink window and has another 3+ decades of longevity ahead of it."
"Still extremely young, feels significantly more closed than the 1996, with a geater emphasis on spicy black pepper and cassis, and still firm tannins. You feel the tannins pressing in on the close of play, whereas in the 1996 the tannins are now like spun silk, fully integrated. I last tasted this wine two years ago, and it is clearly starting to move into the next phase now after a stubborn beginning, coming out of itself and showing the finesse and the elegance of the vintage. The tobacco and crushed mint leaf notes emerge after five minutes of swirling and sniffing, and this has a long future ahead and is packed with appellation typicity. Harvest September 22 to October 7. First year in the new stainless steel vat room with bigger capacity and smaller sized vats covering 50hl, 80hl, 100hl, with just a few 200hl vats for the blend (previously entirely 200hl wooden vats)."
"Der 2000er ist in diesem Flight mit Abstand freilich der Offenste. Cassis, Lakritz, Trüffel und florale Noten, dahinter eine fleischige Frucht, auf den Punkt gereift, schmelzige Anklänge, elegant, aber gleichzeitig kraftvoll."
"Just beginning to soften and open after a stubborn few decades. Tobacco and crushed mint leaf sit against blackberry and bilberry fruits that continue to be held by a firm frame of tannins. A stately Montrose that has a long future ahead, and is packed with the power and finesse that is so signature to this estate. Harvest September 22 to October 7. First year in the new stainless steel vat room. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend."
"Slow, steady, and holding its course on the way to maturity, the wine is still youthful, with all of its currants, spicebox, tar, blackberry ad black currants held in check. Tannic, but not overly so, the wine is a modern classic that will age for another 40 years. Drink from 2025-2060."
