Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru 1996

97
/100

Stor, klassisk Montrose. Meget typisk St. Estèphe-næse: cassis, brombær, tobak, koldt lejrbål, fugtig jord og den karakteristiske, let lerede note, der straks afslører Montrose. Der er også grafit, mørkt krydderi og, med luft, en fin, blomsteragtig friskhed. Meget klar, meget præcis, meget terroirpræget. Saftig og kraftfuld i munden med perfekt syre og rigelige, men fint polerede tanniner. Strukturen er klassisk og stram, men alligevel overraskende elegant. Vinen bygger sig op i bølger, vinder støt i intensitet og ender i en lang, frisk, salt-mineralsk finish. En stor Saint-Estèphe og et af pejlemærkerne for 1996-årgangen. Dyb, præcis og langtidsholdbar, fremragende at drikke nu, med enorme reserver. En Montrose på absolut topniveau.

Parker om: Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru

Tasted at the vertical in London, I have instead used the tasting note from a bottle opened at the property when I visited just a couple of weeks later. The 1996 Montrose is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot picked between 23 September and 6 October. It was served alongside the 1986 Montrose, however, this is a far better wine and reconfirms Robert Parker's remarks at his own vertical at the property in 2014. For me, it is that loamy character that defines the nose—freshly tilled, damp soil that tinctures the black fruit —that takes you straight to this particular château. This is classic through and through and very well defined. The palate is wonderful with very fine delineation, pitch-perfect acidity, touches of graphite infusing the red and black fruit that dovetails into a very pretty, floral finish. This is clearly one of the great wines of the 1996 vintage and I would be stocking up as much as I could, because it will give 30-40 years of pleasure. Tasted July 2016.

Jane Anson om: Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru

As with the 1982, the colour is starting to soften and brick around the edges, but the main body of the wine remains a deep plum. A reminder once again of how brilliant the 1996 classified Médocs are right now. It is gentle, with caressing tobacco and campfire notes and the signature cassis and blackberry of Montrose. The finesse and the juicy, mouthwatering finish is so impressive, growing in intensity as it comes in waves through the palate. This is peak Montrose, in a year that was generous in its yields, if not quite as much as the 1982, but well over 45hl/h. Not huge amounts left at the estate now, as these were the years when almost everything sold En Primeur, up to 95% of production. Harvest September 23 to October 6.

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru

A classic St.-Estèphe with all the exotic character you expect from this appellation, along with a harmony, finesse and subtlety not seen in many '96s. Absolutely wonderful aromas of blackberries, anise seed, minerals and spices. Full-bodied, with layers of well-integrated, polished tannins and an intense spicy, fruity aftertaste. One of the best of the modern-day wines from Montrose. Best after 2004.

Montrose

Château Montrose ligger på et af de bedste steder i appellationen, højt oppe, med en vidunderlig udsigt over Gironde. Der skete et ejerskifte i 2006. Martin Bouygues, en af Frankrigs mest succesfulde iværksættere, købte denne legendariske vingård for et ukendt beløb.
