A sleeper selection, the estate’s second wine, the 2005 La Dame de Montrose, is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Merlot. Possibly the finest second wine Montrose has yet produced, it is a full-bodied effort with supple tannins as well as surprising power, richness, and expansiveness. It will provide gorgeous drinking during its first 15 years of life.
Dark in color, with an impressive nose of crushed currant, mineral and spices. Full-bodied, with seamless tannins and an aftertaste of spice, sweet tobacco and berry.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
