Now at its ten-year mark, the 2014 vintage from the northern Médoc is one that continues to amaze, and there's no one that succeeded with such panache as the team at Montrose. The Grand Vin is easily among the shortlist for wine of the vintage, but they also crafted a masterful Tronquoy-Lalande that speaks brilliantly to their successes in the year. Deeply fruited and layered with black and red fruit flavors, a hint of savoriness that's developed in time, and a fine texture, there's so much going on in this impressive bottling. At a decade on, this kind of price and caliber is rare, even for Bordeaux. Grab a case or two and enjoy this perfectly aged gem while your other Grand Vins are quietly resting - it's a sweet spot wine with few peers.

An altogether lovely wine! The blend is slightly more Merlot dominate in this vintage, which adds to the silky texture and the lovely black-fruit perfume. Although this wine is still on the young side for drinking, it has all the components in place, and will undoubtedly prove the quality of this Chateau with a little extra time in the cellar.

You need to dig deep into this deep and creamy wine to find the St-Estephe firmness buried underneath the plush blackberry and rich cherry fruit. Although opulent enough to enjoy tonight the serious structure holding this together will reward the patient collector.
