2010 La Dame de Montrose, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

Description

The growing importance and quality of second wines continues with this wonderful Dame de Montrose. A wealth of bright red and black fruit, aided by the Merlot, combines with hints of spice and ground pepper to provide a rich broad palate. La Dame continues to get better every year.

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.
