Montes Folly Syrah 2000
Apalta Valley, Santa Cruz, Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileListening to Aurelio Montes articulate his passion for his craft, you sense that "Montes Folly" was destined to be the name of this super Syrah from the moment he was told it could not be done in South America. Now five years down the road the original release has developed magnificently. More Rhone-like than ever it has become a rich, peppery red, brimming with sleek black fruit, licorice and chocolate flavours.
