Vina Mongras Ninquen Colchagua Valley 2013 

Dark color with purple hue. Nose of spices, earth, oak, bitter chocolate and black berries. Tasty and silky on the palate even if it shows its structure, this wine gives a lot of quality and depth. The flavors are similar to those from the nose, it is approachable from now even if some air wouldn’t not be too much or unnecessary. For those patient folks out there, lay down some bottles for 5 to 15 years and it will be even better. Very good+ (90)

Made of 50% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 50% de Syrah. Aged 21 months in 80% French oak and 20% American oak barrels, half being new the other part of one use. Alcohol level of 14,5%

Available at the SAQ for 29,00$ (Code SAQ : 00928853)

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)
