Tasted by William Kelley in 2023: "The Montrose 2022 is such a fascinating wine that giving it a bracketed score seems a mere formality. Brilliant terroir, impeccable viticulture, perfectly timed harvest dates and judicious extraction have all aligned to produce a monument in the making, reminiscent of a much purer and more precise modern version of the 1990 vintage at this address. In the glass, it unfurls aromas of black fruit, blackcurrant, violet, iris, pencil lead and cigar wrapper. It is full-bodied, deep and authoritative, its velvety attack developing into an elegant, muscular wine, framed by supple, powdery tannins, and finishing with a long, resonant finish. This blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot only confirms Montrose's status as a de facto premier cru and unquestionably one of the Médoc's greatest contemporary estates."
