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”
Yves Beck 98 points: "62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Montrose asserts itself with its characteristic precision and diversity. It is all about balance, yet also about substance—delivered in a relevant, incisive manner rich in detail. Right from the start, the wine creates a symbiosis between its spirited character and the lovely accent of the tannins. Power, charm, and finesse convey both harmony and verve. The finish is slightly saline; the wine feels deep and lively, captivating yet composed. An energetic, subtle, and persistent Montrose. This is certainly one of the great successes of the Médoc—and indeed the entire Bordeaux region—in 2021!" Drinking Window 2027–2056, reviewed on November 30, 2023, by Yves Beck.
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
