Yves Beck 98 points: "62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot Montrose positioniert sich mit der für ihn typischen Präzision und Vielfalt. Alles dreht sich um das Maß, aber auch um das Konkrete, auf relevante, pointierte Weise, mit zahlreichen Details. Schon im Auftakt schafft der Wein eine Symbiose zwischen dem Temperament und dem lieblichen Akzent der Tannine. Die Kraft, der Charme und die Finesse vermitteln Harmonie und Temperament. Der Abgang ist leicht salzig, der Wein wirkt tief und lebhaft, erobernd und gelassen. Ein energischer, subtiler und anhaltender Montrose. Dies ist sicherlich einer der großen Erfolge aus dem Médoc… uns aus der gesamten Bordeaux-Region im Jahr 2021!" Drinking Window 2027 - 2056, Reviewed on 30.11.23 by Yves Beck
The Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 97 points: "The remarkable 2021 Montrose gets my nomination for the title of "wine of the vintage" in the Médoc. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis and dark berries mingled with subtle hints of mint, orange, pencil shavings and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered and multidimensional core of fruit underpinned by beautifully ripe, refined tannins. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, it entirely transcends the limitations of the year. This young classic, reminiscent of the estate's 1996 but far better, is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot."

Vinous Antonio Galloni 96+ points: "The 2021 Montrose is an inward, brooding wine—classic Montrose, in other words, just attenuated in its intensity by the cool growing season. Spice, tobacco, cedar, menthol, scorched earth, gravel and a touch of new oak open over time, but the 2021 is really a wine that requires considerable cellaring to reach its potential. Then again, it is Montrose. Elegance meets power here." Drinking Window 2031 - 2051, Reviewed on 28.02.24 by Antonio Galloni
The Wine Independent 96 points: "A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2021 Montrose is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs some patient swirling to reveal notes of iron ore, mossy tree bark, and chalk dust, leading to a core of fresh blackcurrants, kirsch, and lilacs, plus a hint of pencil shavings. The light to medium-bodied palate is tightly coiled, offering shimmery layers of minerals, black and red berries, and fragrant earth-inspired flavors, supported by a fine-grained texture, finishing with great freshness and length. Impactful!" Drinking Window 2026 - 2046, Reviewed on 23.04.24 by Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Decanter 96 points: "Dark and milk chocolate, raspberries and red cherries on the nose, with a soft vanilla fragrance and some pink floral aspects. Great tension and direction, personality and verve, high acidity but balanced with the tangy red berry fruit – buzzy with energy and focus. Has precision and drive as well as power and concentration, but all with a lovely elegance and sense of style. Classy and classic, a brilliant wine in 2021."

Falstaff 95 points: "dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle ochre rim. an inviting bouquet with subtle notes of liquorice, black cherry and nuances of oak. medium complexity with red berries, a fresh structure, silky, ripe tannins and a salty minerality. polished and approachable but should ideally be left to mature for a few more years." , Reviewed on 22.03.24 by Peter Moser
James Suckling 95 points: "This shows Montrose personality with blackberries, blackcurrants and graphite, along with some spices and cedar. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a juicy finish. Refined and balanced. Drink or hold." , Reviewed on 15.04.24 by James Suckling
