Montrose other_regions There is a top note

There is a top note of kirsch to the earthier and spicier aromas of red and dark berry liqueur

Shows excellent clarity on the extremely long

mocha and flowers

denoting freshness and minerality

There is outstanding intensity to the beautifully detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess a beguiling texture thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that also buffers the very firm acid spine shaping the saline and relatively powerful finish

Montrose other_regions There is a top noteThe 2015 Montrose has a very intense bouquet of blackberry, raspberry coulis, iodine and violet scents that blossom in the glass, demonstrating more exuberance than (what transpired to be) the 2015 Meyney. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannin, very well judged acidity, taut and linear with satisfying freshness and poise on the finish. Maybe this just has the edge over the Meyney. Superb. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
