Montes Purple Angel 2021

For me, this is the best Purple Angel since 2016, another cooler, fresher vintage in Chile.Partnering Carmenère and 8% Petit Verdot, with equal parts of the blend from Apalta andMarchigüe, this has plenty of graphite and tarragon on the nose, supple, granular tannins,layers of coffee bean, chocolate and black cherry and a balanced, nuanced finish. Drink date: 2025-2036. Score – 97. (timatkin.com, Chile Special Report 2024)
