Description
Rich and intense, the nose of 2016 Montrose is filled with dark fruit. There is coating of oak on the palate, adding a spiciness and dark raspberry note. Very upfront, it has a long, ethereal finish. It has richness but is compact and supremely elegant.

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.
