James Suckling 95 points: "Blackcurrants with crushed stone and slate. Lead pencil. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and precision. Fantastic length and focus. One of the best Dames I have had. Organically grown grapes. 48% merlot, 46% cabernet sauvignon and 3% petit verdot and cabernet franc." , Reviewed on 31.03.23 by James Suckling
Vinous Antonio Galloni 94 points: "The 2020 La Dame de Montrose is fabulous. Rich, dense and expansive, the 2020 offers notable vibrancy and a good bit of energy too. Bright acids cut through a core of red/purplish fruit in what is an intense, wonderfully saline Dame. The 2020 finishes with remarkable elegance and sophistication."

The Wine Palate 93 points: "The 2020 La Dame de Montrose is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of black cherries, mulberries, and juicy plums jump from the glass, followed by suggestions of cracked black pepper, mossy tree bark, and crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate coats the mouth with juicy black fruits and mineral accents, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a lingering peppery note."

Yves Beck 93 points: "49% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc La Dame de Montrose se positionne de manière décidée et sereine. Au fil des années, ce vin s’est créé sa place. Il incarne le vin qui n’est pas là par défaut, mais qui a clairement pour mission de démontrer les aptitudes d’un terroir et d’une équipe de produire des grands vins, indépendamment de leur statut. Dans cette logique l’on évite de parler d’un second, mais plutôt d’une dame ! La finesse et la puissance sont en phase et confirment que l’on pourra compter sur ce vin, au cours des années à venir… et après aussi !"

Decanter 93 points: "Soft purple flowers on the nose, quite perfumed and seductive tones with ripe black fruit, peonies, blueberries and plums. Rich and supple, round with mouthwatering acidity - clean and crisp, steely and mineral with a core of crushed stones, pencil lead, slate and liquorice-edged black fruits. Power and concentration - it's plush and potent, but also quite tight with the flavours expanding vertically. Not as generous and openly friendly at this point but so svelte and well worked with a sense of style to it." Drinking Window 2024 - 2036, Reviewed on 02.01.23 by Decanter

Yves Beck 92-93 points: "49% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc Frisches und subtiles Bouquet mit Noten von Minze und schwarzen Johannisbeeren. Am Gaumen ist der Wein leicht cremig und darüberhinaus mit feinkörnigen Tanninen ausgestattet. Er hat Rasse und Charakter. Der Wein ist noch recht straff, zeigt aber schon klare Ambitionen, dank der Präzision der Tannine und der Frische seiner Säureader. Fruchtiger Abgang."

Falstaff 92 points: "dark ruby, purple reflections, opaque core, a soft brightening on the rim. nuances of fresh herbs and blackberries, fresh black cherries, hints of oak, nougat and candied orange zest. medium complexity, red berries, taut, with still somewhat demanding tannins, mineral, lemony, a bit drying on the finish, needs time." , Reviewed on 22.02.23 by Peter Moser
