Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: This is considered to be among the greatest vintages ever made in Montrose, right up with the 1929, 1945, 1947, 1959, 1961, 1989, 1990 and 2009. Harvest was October 15 to 17. The wine has really come on since I last...
Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: (WE96-98 points) A very firm, dark structure sustains the ripe, bold flavors of black plums and rich berries. The wine has a structured, concentrated background that shows a new, more subtle direction in contrast with the...
Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: (WE95-97 points) This is a hugely structured wine, almost severe in a way that is typical of this estate. It has power and concentration, with intense fruitiness and a rich, generous texture. The finish is fresh and...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: (WA98-100 points) The 2016 Cos d'Estournel takes the 2016 baton and runs with it. A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc that was picked between 26 September and 15 October at 45 hectoliters...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Produced in the magnificent new cellars at Montrose, this big, tannic wine is powerful and concentrated. It has something of the classic severity of a wine from this estate, but that’s mitigated by the ripe, generous...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: (WE93-95 points) There is a strong wood character to this wine, balanced by ripe, full-blown fruitiness. It has a solid structure yet there is still ample freshness.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: One of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted the monumental 2009 Cos d'Estournel has lived up to its pre-bottling potential. A remarkable effort from winemaking guru Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Tasted at the vertical in London, the 2005 Montrose came and delivered the goods. This was the best example of the 2005 that I have tasted, perhaps a wine that is going to prove that, the longer wine lovers can resist...
Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: (WE95-97 points) The great improvements at this estate have really paid off in this fine wine. Owned by another branch of the family that owns Pontet-Canet, the estate has produced a beautifully structured wine, packed...
jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Always excellent for the vintage. What a nose with currants, blackberries, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stones and wet earth too. Full-bodied and refined yet muscular and trim. Fabulously polished tannins. Try drinking in 2020.
Wineanorak, 95 points: Beautiful ripe aromatics: sweet, broad, focused cherry and blackberry fruit. Pure and bright. The palate is fresh, open, mineral and quite elegant, showing lovely ripe fruit, backed up by firm but fine structure. A...
Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 93 points: Good deep ruby-red. Expressive aromas of dark raspberry smoked meat black olive iron smoke and tobacco. Lush broad and sweet with a deep smoky meaty sweetness and outstanding palate coverage. For all its breadth and...
96 points: (JL94-96 points) Showing a good depth of color, the tobacco, cassis, boysenberry and spice-filled aromatics are hard to avoid. Full-bodied and concentrated, there is a lot of power and tannin to contend with this year...
