Dark wild-berry confit, ripe cherry and herbal savouriness lead the documented profile, joined by eucalyptus and cocoa. The palate is juicy and complex, with vivid, integrated tannins carrying the wine through a fruit-led finish. The recorded blend is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Deep colour and pronounced acidity are also recorded.
Montes 2018 Purple Angel Carménère
Blackberry, ripe blueberry and plum lead with cassis and a light dried-herb note. The palate is silky yet structured, layering cooked cherry and candied fruit with cocoa, clove and restrained smoke. Freshness keeps the dark fruit precise through the middle. The finish is long and spicy, leaving polished tannins, black fruit, dark chocolate and gentle savoury depth.
Montes Alpha M 2016
Liquorice and dark cherry lead with cassis, sweet chestnut and nutmeg. The palate is concentrated but polished, layering ripe red and black fruit with tobacco, leather and dark chocolate. Red and black pepper bring definition while toasted oak stays integrated. The finish is long and composed, leaving blackcurrant, warm spice, fine tannins and a savoury echo.
Montes 2012 Folly Syrah
Dark plum, raspberry and blackberry open with a concentrated, savoury depth. The palate is rich and firmly structured, bringing dark chocolate into line with hot stone, white pepper and layered spice. Ripe fruit remains clear beneath the wine's power. The finish is long and warming, leaving black fruit, mineral tension, pepper and a measured touch of cocoa.
