<p>From the Montrose stable, this is 51% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Violet perfume, with raspberry fruit on the very firm palate, whose muscular tannins are rounded and nicely fruit-coated.</p>
"59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot. Bright, blue-hued fruit and plush raspberry. A shiny and fruit-focused style, very modern but stopping short of flashy, with chalky St-Estèphe tannins. Good wine and hopefully decent value – this is a pick.
