The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 La Dame de Montrose delivers a profound nose of baked plums, blackberry preserves and raisin cake with touches of dark chocolate, licorice, Chinese five-spice and sandalwood. Full-bodied, rich and opulent in the mouth, it fills the palate with ripe, generous fruit, backed by firm, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and spicy.

The Second wine of the superb 2nd Grand Cru Classé Château Montrose, La Dame de Montrose is distinguished by its very own personality, offering a unique expression of the great terroir of Saint-Estèphe.
Dame de Montrose has been one of a select group of outstanding second wines over the last decade, but the 2018 has raised the bar to a new level. This has real Grand Vin stature. Initially brooding, slowly, floral Cabernet and violet notes emerge along with bramble, blackberry and loganberry aromas. There is a lot of wine here. Deep and concentrated with waves of lavish yet tensile fruit - this is a really serious effort with large-scale tannins that stain the palate with cassis, wood spice, liquorice and ferrous minerals. An outstanding second wine.
