Montes Alpha M "La Finca Estate" 1999

Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileMontes Alpha M is a blend of mostly cabernet sauvignon (80%) with equal parts merlot (10%) and cabernet franc (10%). Sourced from 100 year old vines and is aged for 12 months in French Allier fine grained oak. Intense ruby cherry in colour with red fruit aromas of blackcurrant, chocolate and cigar box, in balance with well-integrated oak vanilla. Great complexity in the mouth, the mid palate is full bodied and balanced with a lasting persistence and a remarkable finish.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
