Vina Montgras Ninquen Colchagua Valley 2012

Dark violet color.Quite herbal a first with aromatic herbs, bitter chocolate, dark fruit, spices and charred oak. With air it became more fine and revealed more complex aromas. Dense on the palate, but silky, long and flavorful, less herbal than on the nose. Air did helped too making the wine more enjoyable, may be charming, but good! Please qive some air to enjoy properly this wine and do not hesitate to put down some bottles to age (which I do have having few vintages in the cellar) and you won’t regret it. Very good+ (90)

Lightly colored with green hue. Nose of grass, grape fruit, fresh and very “spring” season like with its flower notes. Follows on the palate with about the same flavors and despite the medium acidity level, this wine does have some freshness to it. Will be at its best paired with cheeses of a meal with white meat. Good+ (88)
