• vvWine.ch bewertete (10/2019) Château Montrose 2009 wie folgt: „Eine wahre Droge, rauchig, dunkelfruchtig, würzig, viel schwarze Johannisbeere, auch etwas Schokolade, ausladend, hochkomplex. Im Gaumen dicht und konzentriert, sehr straff, super feine Textur, perfekte Gerbstoffe, top Struktur. Die Frucht ist reif aber nicht überreif, eine wunderbare würze schwingt mit. Ein elegantes Kraftpaket mit enormen Reserven. Aktuell geht das unter Babymord, doch in 10+ Jahren wird das einer der Weine des Jahrgangs. Ein Monument" - 99 Punkte
• Jeb Dunnuck bewertete (05/2023) Château Montrose 2009 wie folgt: „The 2009 Château Montrose is just pure perfection, and it doesn't get any better. This magical Saint- Estèphe is still youthful yet offers incredible pleasure in its assorted black and red fruits as well as notes of smoked tobacco, licorice, graphite, and scorched earth. A wine that has always been open and satisfying since release, it's still full-bodied and has a broad, expansive, velvety mouthfeel, gorgeous and still present tannins, and a great, great finish. It's a richer, more expansive wine compared to the more focused, classic 2010. Unquestionably one of the finest wines in the vintage, as well as one of the legendary wines from this address, it should evolve for another 40-50 years, although don't let that stop you from opening a bottle!" - 100 Punkte
• Parkers's Wine Advocate bewertete (08/2022) Château Montrose 2009 wie folgt: „A brilliant wine that stands out as one of the high points of the vintage, the 2009 Montrose unwinds in the glass with a rich and incipiently complex bouquet of dark berries, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, framed by a deftly judged touch of new oak. Full-bodied, broad and enveloping, it's a velvety, layered and impressively dynamic wine that's deep and concentrated, exhibiting terrific balance and a long, resonant finish. While it is still five or six years away from showing all its cards, I have drunk this benchmark for contemporary Montrose with immense pleasure three times this year. In style, it's hard to find an obvious comparison (and I have drunk Montrose back to 1895), but I would be inclined to invoke a fresher, more complete and more powerful version of the estate's very successful 2003. Drink 2025 - 2060." - 100 Punkte
• Jeff Leve bewertete (05/2022) Château Montrose 2009 wie folgt: „Everything here is on fire! This is what great wine is all about. Incredibly concentrated, powerful, rich, deep, long, and complex. From the sniff, you should be hooked. But the real star of the show is on the palate, which is completely coated with layer after layer of perfectly ripe, opulently textured layers of black, red, and blue fruits that linger well past the 60-second mark! The seamless finish must be tasted to be believed. This is already just great to taste. But it is in the future where it will achieve its future legendary status. Drink from 2025-2060." - 100 Punkte
• Robert Parker bewertete (08/2014) Château Montrose 2009 wie folgt: "Harvested between September 17 and October 5, this wine seems always open for business, so to speak, much like the great 1982s. The summer of 2009 was very hot and dry, which got the harvest off to a reasonably early start. The blend was 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Jean Bernard Delmas' goal was to find perfect equilibrium between freshness and concentration, given its incredible opulence and the voluptuous character this vintage offered. That's what this wine has in abundance. With an astounding dense purple color, the wine has velvety, sweet tannins, and an extremely open-knit and opulent blueberry, blackberry and creme de cassis nose. There is scorched earth, vanilla and, again, telltale licorice and spice. It is unctuously textured - thicker and juicier than the 2010 and more forward. This wine should come into its own in another five years. And again, it has at least 50+ years of aging potential. Drink 2019-2069."  - 100 Punkte
