Parker about Château La Dame de Montrose 2000
The 2000 La Dame de Montrose would embarrass plenty of grands vins from this vintage, offering up aromas of sweet cassis, rich soil tones and black truffle, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless palate. A touch purer and less rustic than its 1989 counterpart tasted alongside, it derives from the first vintage vinified in stainless steel at this address.
