Montes Alpha Syrah 2001
Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileRich black pepper, vanilla, spicy, smoky, garrigue nose with fine black plum and blackberry jam notes. The style is a bit dry and tight with a little less concentration on the mid-palate than we expected. Still the peppery, spicy, cedary, smoky leather flavours are impressive. There's some elevated acidity and dry tannins in the finish.Tasted: 29 August 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $31.45 | 750ml | Specialty |
