Tasting notes
The 1999 La Dame de Montrose has a lovely, airy, generous bouquet of blackberries, graphite and crushed stone aromas that is very youthful for a 20-year-old Second Wine. The palate is well balanced if not complex, offering sappy black fruit, a fine bead of acidity and decent grip and length on the brine-tinged finish. Excellent. Tasted from an ex- château bottle at the estate.

The 1999 La Dame de Montrose includes 40% Merlot in the blend, which provides a soft character in its elegant, medium-bodied personality. Consume this attractive effort over the next 5-7 years.

About the producer
Ch. Montrose is one of two Second Growths from Saint-Estèphe and one of the most consistent producers in Bordeaux. The wines from this property are both elegant and powerful, and some of the Médoc's most age-worthy .
