蒙特斯酒庄富利红葡萄酒

点击次数：67329

Gorgeous blackberry and boysenberry fruit, with opulent toast and mineral and spice notes coming in at the end. This is a seriously big wine with authoritative tannins pounding out the finish. Needs time, but the fruit is there--in spades. This debut makes a serious case for Syrah's future in Chile. Best from 2003 through 2007. 665 cases made. -JM

This inaugural high-end 100% Syrah from one of Chile’s best wineries is thick, rich, concentrated and everything else that makes a wine a true blockbuster. Smoked meat and deep, dark berries make up the nose. The palate is luscious and full of black fruit. The viscous mouthfeel is a showstopper. On a par with the world’s best Syrahs. ——S.H.(12/1/2002)—— 91
