{"product_id":"2021-chateau-montrose-saint-estephe-case-of-6-btls","title":"2021 Chateau Montrose, Saint-Estephe, Case of 6 btls","description":"RP97 \"The remarkable 2021 Montrose gets my nomination for the title of \"wine of the vintage\" in the Médoc. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis and dark berries mingled with subtle hints of mint, orange, pencil shavings and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered and multidimensional core of fruit underpinned by beautifully ripe, refined tannins. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, it entirely transcends the limitations of the year. This young classic, reminiscent of the estate's 1996 but far better, is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.\" WK for TWA Feb 2024\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLP96 \"A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2021 Montrose is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs some patient swirling to reveal notes of iron ore, mossy tree bark, and chalk dust, leading to a core of fresh blackcurrants, kirsch, and lilacs, plus a hint of pencil shavings. The light to medium-bodied palate is tightly coiled, offering shimmery layers of minerals, black and red berries, and fragrant earth-inspired flavors, supported by a fine-grained texture, finishing with great freshness and length. Impactful!\" LPB for TWI Apr 2024\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAG96+ \"The 2021 Montrose is an inward, brooding wine—classic Montrose, in other words, just attenuated in its intensity by the cool growing season. Spice, tobacco, cedar, menthol, scorched earth, gravel and a touch of new oak open over time, but the 2021 is really a wine that requires considerable cellaring to reach its potential. Then again, it is Montrose. Elegance meets power here.\" AG for VM Feb 2024\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDR96 \"Dark and milk chocolate, raspberries and red cherries on the nose, with a soft vanilla fragrance and some pink floral aspects. Great tension and direction, personality and verve, high acidity but balanced with the tangy red berry fruit – buzzy with energy and focus. Has precision and drive as well as power and concentration, but all with a lovely elegance and sense of style. Classy and classic, a brilliant wine in 2021.\" GH for DR Nov 2023","brand":"Montrose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48703949340909,"sku":"BDX:MON:MONT-PK06-2021-F0L0C0","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/BDXMONMONT-PK06-2021-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1758225630","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2021-chateau-montrose-saint-estephe-case-of-6-btls","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
