Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru 2008

93–95+
/100

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Høstes sent og er fuldmoden den 15. oktober. Tre grønne høstninger i løbet af sommeren! Vinmarksarbejde som aldrig før på Montrose. Næsten ingen botrytis eller råd i vinmarken, men alligevel en ekstrem udvælgelse. Sort-rubinrød vin. Multebær og brombær i næsen, koriander og syren, kompakt og meget massiv i næsen. Også koncentreret og koncentreret i midten af munden, massiv uden at drive fra hinanden. Brombær og blåbær dominerer, sort bitter chokolade, meget harmonisk og afbalanceret. Høj viskositet, rund og alligevel lukket, rig, stadig lidt bitter og ru tannin fra den rige, nye træ, sandeltræ, cassis, smuk længde. Vinen er stadig lidt ujævn, men den viser smukke muskler og tæthed, vil helt sikkert blive ekstremt god en dag med måske endnu bedre smag. 93-95+/100

Suckling om: Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru

The purity and precision in this wine is very exciting. Medium to full body, firm and chewy tannins and a long finish of currant and spice. Black tea and bark too. Better in 2020 but beautiful now. Decant before serving. 95/100

Decanter om: Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru

Montrose always takes its time, and this is still very much young and austere but with a commanding presence. It's a classically structured Montrose showing crushed slate, tobacco and bilberry and there's no question that it has plenty of life ahead of it. The tannins are among the most chewy on display so far, the fruit tucked in between the layers of acidity, the overall feel one of subdued power. Give it another few years before opening then settle in for the long haul. 95/100

Parker om: Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru

Tasted at the château, the 2008 Montrose is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot picked between 29 September and 15 October. It has a far superior bouquet compared to the underperforming 2006 with black fruit, minerals, fern and briary. It is very composed, almost understated, yet clearly with great potential. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, a fine line of acidity, powerful for the finish but with impressive mineralité and tension on the persistence finish. It is quite an audacious 2008 and one of the finest wines of the vintage. Tasted September 2016. 94/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru

Tasted at the chateau. As indicated in my original tasting note, I have always felt that my sample from barrel was not representative. The nose takes some coaxing from the glass, but it eventually, perhaps reluctantly, reveals scents of blackberry, pomegranate, violet and a touch of cedar and fresh fig. Very well defined. The palate is tensile, very tight, fresh acidity underpinning sharp blackberry and bay leaf on the entry. Fine but sturdy tannins, very good persistency, real grip on the finish. This has certainly put on weight during its elevage and it is redolent of a scaled down version of the 1989. Whilst not a top-flight Montrose a la spellbinding 2009, this is still an impressive wine from Jean-Bernard Delmas. Drink 2014-2035. Tasted October 2010. 94/100

Galloni om: Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru

The 2008 Montrose has a lifted perfumed bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, iris and limestone scents, nicely defined and opening with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm backbone, layers of cedar-tinged black fruit, spicebox and white pepper, leading to a perisistent, structured finish that probably needs another year or two soft. Impressive. 94/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru

Powerful yet still retaining a sense of restrained style, this wine is packed with ripe plum and sweet berry fruit flavors, laced with firm, dusty tannins. Acidity filters through the dense texture to give great freshness. 94/100

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.
