A. Galloni bewertete (01/2025) Château Montrose 2022 wie folgt: „The 2022 Montrose is insanely beautiful. That much is obvious. When it might be ready to drink is another question. In recent years, Montrose has acquired notable finesse in its tannins, so that is not an issue. But the 2022 is packed with tremendous density and concentration that will need time to soften. Blackberry, graphite, licorice, lavender and chocolate stain the palate in a stunning, riveting wine of the very highest level. I can only hope to be around when the 2022 starts to drink well! Montrose is without question one of the wines of the vintage. Unforgettable“ – 100 Punkte
Parkers’s Wine Advocate bewertete (04/2023) Château Montrose 2022 wie folgt: „The 2022 Montrose is such a compelling wine that assigning it a bracketed score seems a mere formality. A brilliant terroir, impeccable viticulture, perfectly timed harvest dates and judicious extraction have aligned to deliver a monument in the making, reminiscent of a far purer, more precise, modern-day version of the 1990 vintage at this address. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cassis, violets, iris, pencil lead and cigar wrapper, it’s full-bodied, deep and authoritative, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, elegantly muscular core that’s framed by supple, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, resonant finish. A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, this only confirms Montrose’s status as a de facto first growth and unquestionably one of the contemporary Médoc’s very greatest estates.“ – 99-100 Punkte
Jeb Dunnuck bewertete (05/2023) Château Montrose 2022 wie folgt: „The 2022 Château Montrose is a classic blend of two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, all of which was brought up in 60% new oak from a variety of coopers. Another absolutely brilliant wine in the vintage, it offers a saturated purple hue as well as an essence of Montrose-like bouquet of currants, blueberries, damp earth, violets, graphite, and tobacco leaf. Full-bodied, incredibly concentrated, and powerful, it nevertheless has a riveting sense of purity, precision, and finesse that’s hard to believe. Given its balance and purity of fruit, as well as the quality of the tannins, it’s going to offer incredible pleasure with just 4-6 years of bottle age (a decade would be best) yet be just about immortal if well stored.“ – 98-100 Punkte
VvWine-ch bewertete (05/2023) Château Montrose 2022 wie folgt: „Dichtes Rubin, im Kern fast Schwarz. Die Nase ist mind-blowing, tiefgründig und mit grosser, aromatischer Komplexität, Cassis, Herzkirschen, Heidelbeeren, Pfeffer, dazu die fast schon obligaten Veilchennoten, die in diesem Jahrgang Bordeaux prägen, viel Mineralik, ungemein nobel und kühl anmutend. Der Gaumen beginnt harmlos, baut dann aus, der wein füllt den Mund, eine Wand von superfeinen Tanninen umgarnen die Frucht, die Tannine sind sehr seidig, immer da, nie im Vordergrund, das ist ein Konzentrat aus Frucht, Struktur und Frische, wer Montrose kennt, der weiss, welche Kraft in diesem Wein steckt, hier haben wir es mit einer Eisernen Faust im Seidenhandschuh zu tun. Grosse Länge, sehr mineralisches Finish, ein Montrose-Monument, das für eine kleine Ewigkeit gebaut ist. 2030-2065+.“ – 98-100 Punkte
The Wine Independent bewertete (05/2023) Château Montrose 2022 wie folgt: „The 2022 Montrose is composed of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, aging in 60% new oak. Deep garnet-purple in color, it slowly unfurls to offer a gorgeous perfume of violets, star anise, wilted roses, cumin seed, and garrigue, giving way to a core of blackcurrant pastilles, boysenberry preserves, and kirsch. The full-bodied palate is a firework display of graceful, highly nuanced fruit, featuring mineral, floral, black fruit, and red berry sparks, supported by very firm, super-ripe tannins and incredible freshness, finishing very long, vibrant, and shimmery.“ – 98-100 Punkte
