"The 2015 has an open nose with brambly red fruit, undergrowth and just a touch of wild mushroom. This has fine delineation, though it's not complex. The palate is medium-bodied with rather dry tannins, modest depth and a slight metallic reduction on the finish, but it should dissipate with time. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting." -Neal Martin

"The 2015 La Dame de Montrose is deep garnet-purple in color with a nose of crushed black currants, warm black plums and black truffles with hints of underbrush, dried herbs and tar. Medium-bodied, firm and with a good core of earth-laced black fruits, it finishes with good length." -Lisa Perrotti-Brown

"Tasted blind. Very dark crimson. Relatively evolved on the nose. Slightly simple fruit dominates the dusty tannins." -Jancis Robinson MW

"Dense floral and cassis nose with a minerally graphite base. Very good natural richness of fruit and great purity of expression. A very serious, very exciting second wine."

"Very juicy, this is a wine that has spice and open black currant flavors. It is full of fruit, backed by a small edge of tannin that gives the wine a really fresh fruitiness. The wine will develop quickly."
