That's simply the white label fading to shade. |

Montes Alpha. I thought I recognised it. I had the Cab Sauv last night. |

No need - that one may go into the Bacchus dictionary, Hey tribs, how is the Montes cab drinking these days ? Say compared to that '06 Marg that you enjoyed the fragrance of, the other day. |

Well the last drop of the Marg on day 4, the fruit started to come alive. Before I was jokingly referring to it as oak in a glass. Beautiful freshly cut oak mind. I bought another bottle on 25% off for 6 to put away for a while. The Montes cab is drinking very well. TN from night 2. Mint on the nose with a hint of spice. Tangy dark fruit and a lovely long dry finish. Very well made but unmistakably chilean. I'm going to pick up a couple more on the Tesco offer. |

Day 4 ????? I had almighty trauma understanding Day 2. Did get some good info therefrom. Opened several different options rather that having to finish the bottle. Day 4 n'existe pas. |

A lot of CT tasting notes seem to say its a bit oak heavy (maybe didn't seem so after the Marg you had been drinking  ) and that probably best kept for a couple of years or at least decantered for an hour or more.Jay Miller gave the 07 it 91pts and said will drink well to 2019 ! |

It was the 07 and it is oak heavy. Was too much for the wife but I like oak. Will be better with a bit of time for sure Bacchus wrote: Day 4 ????? I had almighty trauma understanding Day 2.
