Palate--Big presentation with a robust, chewy structure with dark berry notes, still the red grapefruit mid- palate, plastic like finish. Admittedly an awkward first impression, puckery tannins, and a finish that is lingering and not off putting.
Montes is one of Chile's premier vintners, and generally reliable. This is a table wine level production around $14. I am ambivalent at this point and will update when it has breathed for a while.
Update--This balanced out and was a nice accompaniment to my dinner of left-overs. Raise a glass!
