Montes Purple Angel Carmenere 2020 is a captivating expression of the Carmenere grape, showcasing the distinct character of the Colchagua Valley and the meticulous winemaking of Montes. As the wine flows into the glass, it reveals an intense, deep purple color, offering a visual prelude to its richness.
The aromatic profile is an enticing fusion of dark fruits and spices. Aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and black cherries mingle with hints of cocoa, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, Purple Angel delivers a full-bodied and velvety experience. The dark fruit flavors persist, supported by well-integrated tannins and a subtle backbone of acidity.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 98:
A consistent Purple Angel that really delivers the carmenere’s plushness when ripened well. Dark olives, blackberries and red chili chocolate with a splash of spice and cigar box. Fleshy and concentrated with plenty of fine-grained tannins that extend to a very creamy finish. 92% carmenere, around half from Marchigue and half from Apalta, with 8% petit verdot.
