    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    La Dame de Montrose, St Estèphe, 2014

    We are huge fans of what Hervé Berland is doing at Montrose. The northern Medoc enjoyed the best of the conditions in 2014. Dame de Montrose has certainly exceeded our initial expectations. This is full of graphite and cassis. Very classic and Médocain with hints of flowers and pure ripe berries. The palate is refined and serious with layers of bittersweet fruit and minerals, culminating in a finish of refinement and class. A really outstanding and serious second wine.

    Intense, smoky, plenty of black fruit, who doesn't love this 2nd wine of Château Montrose? It's a vintage that is often overlooked, particularly after the run of great years Bordeaux has had recently, but it's at a great moment to open right now, and delivers a ton of St Estèphe and Left Bank typicity, with crayon and graphite. Harvest September 22 to October 16.
