James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Montrose 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:Purity and beauty on the nose with blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, crushed-stone and violet character. A full-bodied red with masses of polished tannins and intense flavors of currants and blackberries. Juicy finish. Super depth to this. Goes on for minutes. Try after 2027.
Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Montrose 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:The 2018 Montrose is a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Very deep garnet-purple in color, it needs a good amount of air to unlock the vibrant scents of crushed blackberries, preserved plums and cassis with suggestions of star anise, cedar chest, underbrush, Indian spices and iron ore, plus an emerging waft of violets. The full-bodied palate features the most exquisitely ripe tannins, offering a rock-solid backbone with tons of freshness lifting the taut, muscular fruit, finishing long and mineral laced. Going back to this wine over a period of hours and then days further reveals a Montrose of great opulence, richness and depth. Incidentally, the IPT level this year is 82, which indicates a very high level of tannins, and yet they are so, so ripe. The alcohol is around 14.5%. But sit back, close your eyes and forget the numbers—this is pure hedonism in its youth with a fantastic 40+ years of cellaring ahead of it, during the course of which do not be at all surprised if you are blown away by a three-digit experience.
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Montrose 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:The 2018 Montrose is dazzling. Whereas so many 2018s are opulent and broad, Montrose is a wine of vertical explosive power. Ripe Cabernet aromatics soar out of the glass, making a strong first impression. Black cherry, leather, licorice, graphite and menthol develop later as the 2018 starts to open in the glass. The energy, vibrancy and drive here are palpable right out of the gate. Montrose is one of real stars of 2018. Don't miss it!
Jeb Dunnuck im März 2021: A full-bodied powerhouse as well as a perfect wine, the 2018 Château Montrose is a final blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc that was raised in 60% new French oak. Boasting a deep purple hue as well as awesome levels of crème de cassis and smoky blackberry fruits and notes of tobacco, lead pencil, scorched earth, and chocolate, it's deep, opulent, and incredibly concentrated on the palate, with no shortage of mid-palate depth, tannins, or length. It reminds me a little of a fresher version of the 2003, although there's more Cabernet Sauvignon in 2018 as well as less Merlot. It has that classic Montrose minerality and backward, mineral-laced style, yet I suspect this will be drinkable in just 5-6 years and should evolve into a modern-day legend from this terroir.
James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Montrose 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:This is a big and muscular wine with great structure and depth of fruit. Blackberry and blueberry character. Hints of fresh leaves. Cool earth. Incredible depth. yet so polished. Concentrated.
Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Montrose 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon. 20% Merlot. 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. harvested from September 17 to October 5. the 2018 Montrose has a very deep purple-black color and opens with tantalizing notes of crème de cassis. Black Forest cake. hoisin and mocha with nuances of molten licorice. fertile loam. cast iron pan and incense. Big. rich. full and powerful in the mouth. the voluptuous fruit has a rock-solid backbone of very firm. very ripe tannins to match with tons of freshness and an epically long. exotic spice finish. A magnificent monster of a Montrose!
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Montrose 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:The 2018 Montrose balances finesse and power to a degree I don't think I have seen in a recent young Montrose. The 2018 has plenty of depth. intensity and thrust - all signatures of Montrose - but it also has a striking sense of elegance. Crème de cassis. lavender. spice. menthol and licorice meld together in the glass. Although it is naturally very young. the 2018 Montrose appears to have a tremendous future. The blend is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon. 20% Merlot. 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. which is to say more Cabernet and less Merlot than is the norm. Readers will have to be patient with the 2018. but it is a stellar wine in the making. Montrose presents an en primeur sample aged 100% in new oak (while the final wine is aging in 60% new barrels) to show a wine that is more ready to taste young.
CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Montrose 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:
Cuvee: 72 Cabernet Sauvignon / 20 Merlot / 6 Cabernet Franc / 2 Petit Verdot Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 17. September und 5 October Dichter und kompakter Kern. die Nase ist warm. mit viel reifer schwarzbeeriger Frucht. Am Gaumen sehr einnehmend. viel Frucht auch im Mund zeigend. Seine frische und vitale Säure macht ihn lebendig. Mir persönlich fehlt ein wenig die Tiefe welche der 2016er mitbrachte. Dennoch bin ich mir sicher. dass dieser Montrose während der nächsten Jahre an Kontur gewinnen wird. zur Zeit ist es die pure Power und Frucht die ihn dominiert. und vergibt ihm 94-97 Punkte.
