Montes Alpha Carmenere 2021 750ml

Deep purplish-red in color. The intense nose offers pleasing notes of ripe blackberries, figs, and dried plums. Spicy notes of nutmeg and black pepper complement a backdrop of tobacco, leather, and a subtle hint balsamic and dark chocolate aromas. The palate is well balanced, lush, and structured, with soft tannins that lead to a long and very elegant finish.

Highly recommended with red meats, stir-fried beef and vegetables, pork chops, spaghetti with Bolognese sauce, lamb chops, and mushroom ravioli.

92 Points - James Suckling 

A well-balanced carmenere showing plenty of ripe fruit as well as spices and a hint of tobacco. Eclectic style. Tannins are fine-grained on the medium- to full-bodied palate with generous, flattering fruit. Marchigue and Apalta. Drink or hold.
