"The nose is racy, taut/stretched and offers a very fine, powerful and tightly wound grain. The wine benefits from being decanted. There are notes of fairly ripe black berries, violet and more slightly ripe violet plum combined with hints of strawberry/red berries, lily as well as fine hints of sweet spices, a subtle touch of balsamic, saffron and an imperceptible hint of pepper. The palate is fresh, mineral, fruity and offers a nice definition, suppleness, tension, good structure and a very nice acidity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of wild blackberry, red berries and more slightly balsamic combined with hints of racy/iodic minerality, saffron, fairly ripe black berries, crisp/acidic currants and a subtle hint of cocoa, toast, almond, fresh tea and a touch of cardamom. Good length. The tannins are mellow."

"Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, feine Edelholznuancen, schwarze Waldbeeren, reife dunkle Herzkirschen, tabakige Nuancen, einladendes Bukett. Mittlerer Körper, schwarze Frucht, präsente Tannine, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, zarte Kräuterwürze im Nachhall, noch sehr jung, wird von weiterer Reife profitieren."

"As so often with Montrose, this is a powerful, concentrated and very structured wine. Dense tannins are paired with rich black fruits, although at this stage the wine also has a sense of austerity. Power, severity and complexity all make for a wine for long aging. Wait until 2019."

"EN PRIMEUR - Intense hue. Concentrated, fruit-driven nose (cherry flesh, raspberry) with delicate, creamy oak. On the palate, power, structure, wonderful ripeness and focused ripe fruit expression. Good length driven by evident tannins. Exuberance. Wonderful potential."
yr. 2011 Andreas Larsson - Tasted:

"Andreas Larsson - Tasted" has rated the wine "2011 Chateau Montrose" from the vintage 2011 with 92 of 100 points.
"Very dense and inky colour, impenetrable core. Dark ruby towards the rim. Still quite youthful on the nose. Mostly fruity expression of ripe dark fruits, black currants, plum, quite high ripeness of fruit there. Some sweet fruit character, almost with a hint of confiture. Quite elegant oak, gently roasted with some cedar wood, tobacco. Very powerful on the palate, really dense and vigorous with plenty of extract. That is still on the youthful side, but I would say ripe tannin. Rounded extract, just quite a lot of it. Same thing goes for the fruit. Intense fruitiness, with dark plum, cassis flavours, layered with a slightly aromatic spiciness in the direction of sage and mint. Oak feels integrated. Some gentle roasted flavours on the palate as well. Really mouth-filling and broad. Long and lingering finish. Still very dense and very youthful and tight. Doubtlessly a wine that should have very big potential for further development."

"Paart gekonnt klassische Typizität und modernen Fruchtausdruck, felsenfeste Textur und distinguierte Eleganz und hat so endgültig zu seinem Stil gefunden: Komplexe Aromatik von Flieder und Beeren, mineralische Komponenten, superbe, satte Textur, saftiges, genau richtig dosiertes Tannin, herb, aber ohne Härte, von grosser aromatischer Länge, hervorragend, einer der grossen, klassischen Weine des Jahres."
