La Dame de Montrose 玫瑰莊園副牌 2017

92 points from Robert Parker:
"The 2017 La Dame de Montrose is a blend of 49% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, aged in 30% new and 70% one-year old barrels for 12 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with warm red currants, black cherries and black raspberry scents, followed by earthy/underbrush notions plus hints of violets, dark chocolate and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied and firm, with loads of mouth-coating juicy fruit, it has a velvety texture and long, mineral-laced finish. It should be approachable pretty much from the get-go, although don't let its precociousness make you underestimate its aging potential. Nicely done!" - Review by Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Tasting notes
The colour is on a deep red.
The nose, very expressive, is slightly woody, dominated by black fruits aromas (blueberry, blackberry and black cherry). It also reveals subtle notes of cedar and tobacco leaves.
Tension and length in mouth are combined with a good balance. Tannins are precise and silky. The aromas purity brings finesse and elegance.
A wine whose personality should assert itself in the coming years.

Region/Country: Saint Estephe, France

品酒筆記：
這款酒呈現濃郁的紅色。香氣非常豐富，略帶木質，以黑色水果的香氣為主（藍莓、黑莓和黑櫻桃）。同時還散發出細微的雪松和煙草葉的氣息。

口感中帶有張力和持久性，並且保持良好的平衡。丹寧細膩而精確。香氣的純淨度帶來了優雅和精緻。

這款酒的個性在未來的幾年中應該能夠展現出來。
