MONTESCO PARRAL 2010

Tasting Notes

In the glass this wine showed a deep red color with violet hues. In nose was explosive, scattering everywhere complex aromas like fruit (a lot of small red and black fruits), herbal (mentholated, sod), minerals notes (graphite, chalk, stone), spices, coffee and bitter chocolate.

On the palate this wine was honest, and always with fruit in front. It showed a medium body and intense entry. It was extremely fresh, with stylish minerality integrated perfectly with oak wood. Delicious aftertaste of medium-long finish.

In conclusion, this wine was tasty, straight, vertical easy to drink and highly addictive.

This wine scored 94 points by Robert Parker (Wine Advocate). Who recommended drinking until 2016. We never scored a wine, and do not know if this score was much or little, but we consider that this blend is a great wine and  now is having an excellent moment.

Serbal Assemblage 2012, by Atamisque

Tasting notes, 

In the glass this wine was red deep, with some sparkles violet and ruby on the edges. Thick and dense tears draw roads on the walls of the cup on his return to the nectar.

The nose was intense and exquisite. Showed aromas very suggestive with a lot of sweet red pepper and spices. Then shyly showed fresh cherries and plums… Sweet and refreshing acidity... good, good!

On the palate it was explosive, fresh and balanced. The notes of Cabernet Franc (sweet red pepper) dominate fairly, together the sweet plums of Malbec . Perhaps the Merlot contributes with fresh and spicy notes that accompany the swig. Unforgettable aftertaste of medium-high persistence.

Summary 
In this young red wine dominate from start to finish the character and expressivity of Cabernet Franc, resulting a wine with character and strength, rounded by the elegance of Merlot and sweetness of Malbec . A great blend accomplished by the work of Philippe Caraguel and Adrián Vargas! We liked it very much!
