There was a major disconnect between the nose and the palate. Medium intensity with living ripe black fruit on the nose and nice secondary notes. Unfortunately the palate was off balance and quite bitter with a medium finish. #chile #m #montes #ctbucklinwine

Creme de la Creme of South America right here, aristocratic, reminiscent of properly aged, classified growth Left Bank… all the aromas & flavors - seamless, harmonious, generous and at its zenith. Paired w/birthday dinner of roast leg of lamb
