Note di degustazione
The 2019 La Dame de Montrose is a touch richer and more giving than its 2016 counterpart, delivering aromas of dark berries, cherries and plum liqueur along with licorice and petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it's velvety and expressive out of the gates, reflecting the dominant presence of ripe Merlot in the blend.

48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc. Deepest purple-crimson. Open and fragrant with cassis and elderberry. A light dusting of oak adds more savour than sweetness. Finely textured and utterly mouth-watering. The acidity is notable but fully integrated. Superb tannic finesse and a long, dry, fragrant finish, the alcohol also well-integrated. (JH)
The 2019 La Dame de Montrose has an open, fresh and energetic nose with blackberry and cedar scents, joined by black pepper and graphite with time. You might describe it as a "strapping" bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with graphite-infused black fruit, pliant tannins, edgy with a persistent and satisfying finish. This is very promising and quite sophisticated - a Deuxième Vin that has improved since bottling. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
Tasted blind. Youthful crimson. Ripe fruit. Good impact. Assertive. Quite a bit of tannin underneath and some persistence. Even a bit of alcoholic warmth on the end! (JR)
