Montes Alpha M "La Finca Estate" 1998
Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe 1998 growing season was a difficult one in Chile -a big crop with plenty of rain. That said the Alpha M has come through in fine style with rich black fruit flavours showing fine acidity and plenty of smooth oak vanillin. The fruit is elegant with a sweet raspberry flavour and now gentle tannins. Saignée or bleeding the tanks has helped to concentrate the all mountain fruit that at this point is ready to drink.Tasted: 30 October 2004Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $75.00 | 750ml |
