La Dame de Montrose 2020 – Saint-Estèphe 

On the nose, fruity and offers freshness, a fine floral side. It reveals notes of boysenberry and hints of small black fruits, morello cherry associated with small touches of blueberry, licorice as well as fine points of fresh tobacco, cardamom and a discreet touch of madagascar pepper. On the palate, fruity, fresh, mineraly, balanced and offers a good definition, juiciness, freshness, minerality, an acidic frame and a finely tightened tension, a beautiful matured fresh richness, density, a bit of obscurity, and an airy character. The wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy black currant, morello cherry and hints of small bright black berries combined with hints of fresh/pulpy raspberry, cornflower, zan, cardamine, a waft of incense, a hint of cardamom, a discreet hint of good coffee tinged bitterness, violet and a subtle hint of camphor in the background.
