JAMES SUCKLING: "The blackberries and blackcurrants show through beautifully, together with very integrated tannins. Dense and textured. Transparent. Graphite coming through. Second wine of Montrose. 61% merlot, 32% cabernet sauvignon, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingrana, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart florale Kirschfrucht, ein Hauch von roten Waldbeeren, kandierte Orangenzesten unterlegt. Stoffig, rund und elegant, feine Tannine, angenehme Säurestruktur, bereits gut entwickelt, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Another strong performance from this bottling, which dependably numbers among Bordeaux's top three or four second wines, the 2023 La Dame de Montrose reveals aromas of cassis, pencil shavings and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and dense palate that's polished, pure and layered, with sweet tannins, lively acids and a saline finish. It's a blend of 61% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc."
