Montes Alpha Colchagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Its okay. Nothing special. Fruit forward, hint of plums, light body, tannins are brief with low acidity. Alcohol does hit the back of tongue a bit stronger than I'm use to. Probably needed a couple more years

16/20 (89/100)

Вяленые ягоды черной смородины, джемовые нотки, замша, черника. Достаточно интенсивно, горький шоколад, мускатный орех. Пряно, полно, солидно. Вкус более пряный чем ягодный, интенсивно, без существенных дополнений к аромату. Выраженные, но в целом вполне зрелые танины.

A husky Cabernet with great aromatic typicity & broad-shouldered tannins. The oak is subtly integrated & there's that lovely, high-toned eucalyptus note that sings of Chile.

Decent

A classic Cab that doesn't disappoint. Berries 'n' chocolate, great structure. A dynamic duo with lamb (thrown in herbs and call yourself gourmet!)

Exceptional QPR, showing richness, balance, in a med(+) body and a hint of cocoa.

A solid Chilean bet;-) this wine always deliver a solid quality, deep red color, deep red, full of black fruits, cherries, black current, plums, coffee and a touch of smoked oak, medium-full body with dry tannins and lots of fruits, nice avidly and a medium dry finish, approachable today, better in a year. My score 86+, drink to 2020

Sustainable dry farmed. I like this Cab, not too herbaceous, interesting gravelly & leather notes, a hint of mint that brightens the nose and nice flesh with textural contrast with firm tannins. Price USD$16. (Sample)

2012, Chile at his best value, blackberry on the nose lifted by a nice acidity, coconut and vanilla spice well integrated some moka undertones, Boom!

2012 vintage.
Black currants and sandalwood on the nose.
Definitely showing its age of 12-13 years Black berries, eucalyptus, and crisp tannins..

Still ripe fruit, rich and round. Oak has integrated itself into the wine.
