2023 Château Montlandrie

Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/4/2024 - Jeff Leve wrote: 92 points

Tobacco, flowers, spices, cherries, and mint form the aromatic profile. The medium-bodied palate balances between its vibrant energy, and its sweet, and spicy, bright, red fruit side. There is elegance, and length in the red, pit fruit finish. Give it a year or two in the cellar, and enjoy it for 15 or more years. The wine blends 55% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% ABV. Drink from 2027-2040. 91-93 Pts.

14.5% alcohol. M 75%, CF 20%, CS 5%. Very good long cork with essentially no wine penetration. Decanted an hour ahead. Pretty dark with no sign of ageing even at the rim.
The nose is very appealing in a dark fruited mode (huge comfort factor here), with no intrusive oak. Similarly pleasing in the mouth with no tannins left, but reasonable grip nevertheless. Very smooth without being too sleek.
I defy anyone not to fall for this wine; heck, I did, even though on paper it is not for me on account of the overwhelming Merlot content. Calling it a crowd pleaser would not do it justice though, as it is a model of balance within its style, but you could serve this at a party and expect all around compliments.
The late Denis Durantou knew his business, no doubt about it. Drank this to his memory, with thanks due to the generous donor.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis), vanilla and cinnamon. The body is full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Cherries and flowers open the nose. The medium-bodied palate is even better with its soft, silky, fresh, rush of sweet red fruits, crushed stone and licorice. If you are not yet familiar with Montlandrie, you should be as this is one of the best deals in all of Bordeaux! The wine blends 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2024-2034.

Upon opening from cellar temperature: Immediate laden farmyard, earthy. Settles quickly to a tight mustyness and evolving menthol.

Between 10 to 20 minutes ; Dark nose, hint of brambles; wafts of gooseberry and crispy smoked streaky bacon. Light silage with an underlay of sweetness. Forward weak phenol with hint of smoky acridity, but not pungent. Light, earthy dryness on the palette; low viscosity; fresh and clean. Developing dusty cedar; fruits evolving.

90 minutes: Dry, soft, subtle mouthfeel. Earthy bucolic flavours with mild but distinct lavenda. Hints of violets evolving. Worked leather; cedar box.

120 minutes: leather and dry cedar, sultana, fractions of prunes and dates. Demerara tone of molasses. Stewed prune. More savoury, still.

End of bottle Dry acidity, Palpable earthiness and dairy farmyard, with chocolate. Satisfyingly savoury. Abruptly verered to a filigree of dry, low viscosity, acidic, vinigary, sweet and salt cedar of weak savoury dark berry nose, but also, evolving malted caramarised sweet mint (anyone of my terroir and vintage, would identify Murray Mint).

Best with braised beef cheeks, etc, vegetable laden stocks and stews; chicken or game; the more robust cheeses

Cedar, liquorice, and blackberry presenting beautifully on the nose, and impeccably transferred to palette, with added dark chocolate and gravel. This is utterly delicious, and insane value.

Decanted 4 hours first night, rebottled about one third for second night stored under vacuvin.

First night this was fresh, a bit muted, dark cassis and chocolate, a bit grippy, though tannins not too overwhelming.

Second night this was alive, lovely depth, range of flavours tannins softened and was very moreish. Many good years ahead yet.

This is only a step down from the luscious 2015 if you forget to aerate it. I've found that double aerating it opens the first glass perfectly. Putting a half bottle away under the cork overnight makes the 2nd day fine, too. Again, there's a commingling of mild citrus, spice, earth, and floral supporting a hint of berries. Quite nice on the nose and palate. Mellow, smooth tannins. Wonderful, lingering finish. Goes well by itself and with spiced food. Again, just delightful, with a super QPR. This has become my go to wine; I drink it almost daily. I just hope Durantou's daughters continue to build upon his legacy.

Rich and refined on the nose. Ripe black plums and blackberry. Fine spices, leather and tobacco. Full bodied and structured with lovely freshness. Finishes long. Drink now or hold. Great value.

WSET Notes:

Deep ruby.

Pronounced on the nose with blackberry, black plum, cedar, dark chocolate, cinnamon, leather and tobacco. Developing.

Pronounced and dry on the palate. Full body, high alcohol, high tannins, medium plus acidity, long finish.

Can drink now but has potential for ageing.

If you know a better Right Bank for the money at this level of quality, let me know. Here, you find a lush, opulently-textured, plummy, chocolate. licorice and black cherry-filled wine that lingers. There is a lot of character here, and the wine sells for a song. Drink from 2023-2033.

Decanted 30 minutes. Some sediment now. Poured 1/2 glasses. Old World nose. Dark red color. Merlot dominant in taste. Medium body and a short finish. For $26 an amazing QPR. Great full pizza wine. Great quaffing wine for sure but not amazing.

Brief tasting note; loads of lush red fruit, mocha notes, sandalwood and slight pepper, palate is lush dark and with a touch of new world ripeness on the palate. Wonderfully layered, I recommend a good 2 hour decant on this, I PnP and it taste still a bit tight. 92++

Open and decanted for 5 hours. Dark fruited, very very nice texture and sikliness for its level, nice acidity that bring some coolness to the wine, tannins are present but this is drinkable.

HOLD … but very promising.

Alas, we did not decant and clearly saw the difference over the evening as the wine opened up over time. Once more open a pleasure to drink. I think one of the comments suggested two hour decant and would agree!

Heavy nose with lots of black berries, some cherry and strawberry coming through. Some woody dusty pencil notes, a bit of a steely edge, a bit of barnyard, and a whiff of vanilla and licorice from the oak. This is too young - flavours are not integrated and the tannins are still very harsh, almost burning in the mouth. On day 3 it's somewhat more integrated but still very harsh. Best thing about it now is the aftertaste, with good length and very tasty fruit. Could be much better in 5 years or so, shame I don't have another bottle.
