Montes Alpha Syrah 2020

Deep nose, full of tarry blackberries, ground dark peppercorn, dark spices and dried meat. Some dried Mediterranean herbs and cocoa powder, too. Dark fruit and spices seep into the medium- to full-bodied palate with chalky tannins and a long, creamy finish. Consistently a great-value syrah from Colchagua. Drink or hold. [This astonishing value has the potential to drink for another decade or more.] Score - 93.
