Dame De Montrose 2016 (750ML)

93 VM / 93 JS / 92 DE / 91 WA

A gorgeous second wine, the 2016 La Dame de Montrose is incredibly expressive today. Supple, radiant and inviting, La Dame has all the potential to be an overachiever in this vintage. Today, it is quite open, and, even more importantly, flat-out delicious. In some moments, La Dame is rather nuanced, while at other times it is a bit more potent. It will be interesting to see what aging in bottle brings, but one thing is certain; the 2016 La Dame is a stellar wine. Don't miss it. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Extremely perfumed and beautiful with bright, violet and plum aromas. Full to medium body, very fine and firm tannins and transparent fruit. Linear and refined with a very long finish. Second wine of Château Montrose. Try in 2022. - James Suckling

The 2016 La Dame de Montrose is deep garnet-purple colored and gives up cassis, earth, tilled soil, truffles and chocolate-covered cherries on the nose. Medium-bodied, the palate is firm, elegant and restrained with a mineral finish. -Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

 Red currants, smoke, chutney aromas with ripe red and black currants on the midpalate. Fine tannins and persistent finish. 52% Merlot / 35% Cab Sauv / 13% Cab Franc. - GVWM
