It's another sensational wine in the lineup, and it exhibits a deep ruby\/purple hue as well as textbook limestone-influenced aromatics of black raspberries, black cherries, crushed stones, and flowers. I love its overall balance, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, seamless, layered mouthfeel, and sweet, present tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pipProdProReviews_item\" itemprop=\"review\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e94\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eVinous\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003eThe 2022 Montlandrie is a powerful, driving wine. Beams of tannin and acid run through a core of bright red-toned fruit, lending notable energy and tension throughout. A wine of size and volume, Montlandrie offers tremendous intensity as well as vibrancy. Gorgeous. –Antonio Galloni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarrel Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e92-94\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pipProdProReviews_item\" itemprop=\"review\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e93\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eDecanter\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003eFocussed and so fine, the tannins are beautifully detailed and so well integrated giving this bite and cool freshness straight away with a crushed stone flavour and texture on the palate. Feels crisp and fresh, blue fruits, mint and slate. Delicate and very fine, almost weightless with such a silky overall texture. Maybe missing a tad more density and plushness but there’s no faulting the cool aspects and well worked tannins. A nice easy juicy expression, really very approachable still with terroir markers and a sense of charm now. I love this, smooth, easy, refined. Classy and elegant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarrel Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e93\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lou \u0026 Birdie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51902086676765,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/4467\/2541\/files\/ChateauMontlandrie.jpg?v=1781821661","url":"https:\/\/louandbirdie.com\/products\/2022-chateau-montlandrie","provider":"Lou \u0026 Birdie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
