Este Chateau Montlandrie 2014 tiene un generoso ramo que revela fragancias de mora y brezo. En el paladar, el vino es de cuerpo medio a completo y bastante carnoso, lo que ayuda a equilibrar los taninos. Al final, hay aromas de mora y pimienta blanca. Este Montlandrie es sutil y está imbuido del arte de la casa.
The 2014 Montlandrie, the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux from Denis Durantou, is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon (yes, different to the percentages stated during primeur--happy to correct it now!). It offers attractive red cherry, wild strawberry and pastille-like scents on the pure bouquet, though maybe I discern a little more complexity on Denis' two Lalande-de-Pomerols, La Chenade and Les Cruzelles. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This feels a little compact at the moment (possibly because of the low pressure system on the day that I tasted?), although there is still commendable depth of fruit and a gentle grip on the persistent finish. I would just give this a couple more years in bottle.
