Montes Purple Angel 2018 is a robust Chilean Carmènere, with a small addition of Petit Verdot. This wine exhibits a striking deep red hue. On the nose, expect concentrated aromas of black fruit, including blackberry and ripe plum, alongside notes of dried fruit and subtle spice. The 18 months spent in French oak barrels impart a degree of complexity with hints of toasted nuts and fine chocolate. Montes, established by Aurelio Montes and his partners in 1987, is recognised for its commitment to showcasing Chile’s terroir, particularly from the Colchagua Valley.

Vinous
The 2018 Carménère Purple Angel by Montes is a blend of Carménère with 8% Petit Verdot from Colchagua, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, four-fifths of them new. Rich purple in the glass with a garnet shimmer. The mentholated, thyme-infused nose delivers plum chutney and clear layers of white pepper and smoky wood. A delicate, juicy wine with good volume in the mouth; the lush feel and muscular but loose tannins run on to a finish of power and flavor.
