Description

This vintage shows an intense, attractive carmine-red colour, with very nice tears on the sides of the glass. The intense and elegant aromas are dominated by ripe berries, such as blueberry and blackberry. There is also the characteristic fig note nicely tied to sweet aromas, including chocolate, vanilla, nutmeg, and dulce de leche from the wine’s 18 months in French oak barrels. It is very complete on the palate, with nice staying power that shows balance and smoothness, while at the same time leaving a vibrant sensation that lasts for a long time, full of flavours.

REVIEW

Rated 97, Tim Atkins

"For me, this is the best Purple Angel since 2016, another cooler, fresher Vintage is Chile. Partnering Carménère and 8% Petit Verdot, with equal parts from the blend from Apalta and Marchigue, 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. 2025-36"
