Montes Alpha Merlot 1997

Montes Alpha Merlot (Curico) 1997: This wine has a deep and dark hue, with classic Merlot aromas of chocolate and spicy fruitcake, with accompanying rich black fruit scents. There are aromas of sensibly applied, moderately subtle French oak. On the palate, a typical glossy black fruit leads the way, with firm but smooth tannins, correct acidity and more well integrated oak. Superb. Very good. (30/9/00)
