Montes Folly Syrah 2006
Apalta Valley, Santa Cruz, Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileLots of spicy, peppery, meaty fruit flecked with liquorice, black cherry, plum, clove, vanilla and chocolate notes. The attack is rich with good acidity balance. Smoky, peppery, spicy, coffee, chocolate, clove, meaty, boysenberry, cedar flavours grab the palate with bits of olive and rosemary on the finish. Big rich and warm but with balance and finesse and flavour intensity. Drink now or over the next 5 years. Impressive red for roast lamb.Tasted: 04 November 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:US | $65.00 | 750ml | fine wine shops |
