CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2025 Montrose is a very quiet, sophisticated Montrose. Silky tannins, lifted aromatics and mid-weight structure are the signatures. Time in the glass brings out lovely red-toned fruit character, along with hints of spice, blood orange, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco. It will be interesting to see how the 2025 develops with elevage. Today, it is a bit on the lighter side relative to the norm here. Some of that may be attributable to winemaking.

77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc. Now 100% from the Terrace No. 4 vineyards. Cask sample.Already quite expressive. Pure and fragrant with blackcurrant, graphite and cedar notes. Lovely silky texture on attack, a touch of mid-palate sweetness then ripe, punchy, gravely tannins on the finish. Lots of freshness and length. Very St-Estephe. (JL)
