Montes Alpha Syrah 2008

Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileOpen peppery, meaty nose with liquorice, dried cherries and chocolate bits. The palate is full and dry with firm tannins and more smoky black fruit, liquorice, vanilla leather and smoked meat characters. Plenty of power with a bit of finesse highlights its long finish. This needs another three to five years in bottle to reach its potential.Tasted: 15 January 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
