CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2022 Montrose has an outstanding bouquet that blossoms in the glass. Enticing scents of blackberry, bilberry and a touch of cassis open, while violet and iris flower notes emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins. The 2022 retains the structure of a typical Montrose, but those tannins are so finely chiseled that it renders this wine far more approachable compared to those I was tasting just a decade earlier. There is a patina of menthol toward the finish, a consequence of that year's warmth, yet it remains a seamless Saint-Estèphe that will doubtlessly age with immense grace. Fabulous.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Sweet and appealing on the nose. High-toned. Mulberries! Very thick. Just bit muddy. Very slightly raw, if one were picking holes. But it s long and rewarding. (JR)
