Over the last twenty years, Montrose's second wine, La Dame de Montrose has been an excellent buy. The 2009 La Dame de Montrose (almost all Merlot with a tiny bit of Cabernet Sauvignon) is a seductive, succulent effort revealing silky tannins, abundant blueberry and blackberry fruit notes intermixed with notions of damp earth, truffles and camphor, and an appealing, luscious personality.
A frank austerity frames the dark fig and plum sauce notes, with tangy chalk and sanguine notes rippling through the finish. Not expansive, but concentrated and well-balanced, with solid typicity
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
