Critic reviews
"The 2019 La Dame de Montrose is a touch richer and more giving than its 2016 counterpart, delivering aromas of dark berries, cherries and plum liqueur along with licorice and petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it's velvety and expressive out of the gates, reflecting the dominant presence of ripe Merlot in the blend."
William Kelley, December 2023, RobertParker.com

"The 2019 La Dame de Montrose has an open, fresh and energetic nose with blackberry and cedar scents, joined by black pepper and graphite with time. You might describe it as a "strapping" bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with graphite-infused black fruit, pliant tannins, edgy with a persistent and satisfying finish. This is very promising and quite sophisticated - a Deuxième Vin that has improved since bottling. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting."
Neal Martin, January 2023, Vinous.com

"The 2019 Dame de Montrose shows all of the richness and radiance of the vintage in its inky fruit and overall ripeness profile. The 2019 is dense and lush, but also feels a bit heavy and lacking in balance, which is especially evident on the short finish. I expected a bit more."
Antonio Galloni, January 2022, Vinous.com

"Depth and power through the mid palate, good quality tannins, this is classically restrained St Estèphe power, with savoury yet juicy black fruits. Living up to its potential En Primeur, one to look out for, and a strong 2nd wine that beats out many 1st wines in the vintage. If you liked the Dame de Montrose 2010, get on board with this."
Jane Anson, October 2021, JaneAnson.com

"Deepest purple-crimson. Open and fragrant with cassis and elderberry. A light dusting of oak adds more savour than sweetness. Finely textured and utterly mouth-watering. The acidity is notable but fully integrated. Superb tannic finesse and a long, dry, fragrant finish, the alcohol also well-integrated."
Julia Harding, October 2023, JancisRobinson.com
