Tasting note

The transparency is incredible to this year of Purple Angel. Aromatic and bright with blueberry, fresh herbs and spice. Full body, silky and perfectly polished tannins. Fabulous length and layers. Superb. Blend made from 46% carmenere from Marchigue, 46% from Apalta and 8% petit verdot. Drink or hold. Score - 97. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, May 12, 2016)

Purple Angel showcases the spicy touches typical of Carménère, with ripe, gentle and soft tannins. It's a full-bodied, densely structured wine that combines red berries, spicy black fruit and dark chocolate on the mouth with alluring raspberry, wild strawberry and blackberry aromas on the nose. Blended with a touch of Petit Verdot to enhance its structure, colour and cellaring potential. A mouth-filling wine with a dense and very long finish - definitely a unique Carménère!

"Suave and plush, with a broad, open texture that transmits a spicy array of dark cherry, currant, blackberry and cocoa powder notes. Very creamy, with silky tannins on the finish of Asian spice and chocolate. Drink now through 2022." Purple Angel has dialed up with even more fruit purity then in the past. This is the new exciting Chile that showcases Carmenere as grown in the Colchagua region. Best Purple Angel yet! (Stephen Schiedel, Portfolio Manager for Wines of North and South America)
