Chilean Wine

For experts palace, how is this wine compared to other wines or French.

Chile is certainly capable of producing a range of wines from the more mundane (Santa Rita 120) to complex (Montes Alpha M) and nothing in between. Overall, red thend to reflect the characteristics of cool climate in the maritime climates so they can have too flavors of green pepper, tomato leaf pine needle altogether. They are generally less fleshy, fruit and berries RIP as California, Australia or other warmer climates. If you enjoy a more sober, herbal and fruit dry style as the old world wines tend to be, you'll find Chile a good alternative, but as all these are generalizations. Find them and decide for yourself how you think they compare. It's more fun anyway.

The South American wines have much in common with European wines - the cellars are usually managed by European families who have emigrated there. They grow European varieties and traditional ways of European came. Thus, the wines are quite similar. An interesting fact is that the power which destroyed European vineyards has never attacked in South America. Thus, the vines are planted on plants with European roots who is not even true in most European. So in that sense they may be more like old European wines.

Chilean wine is mostly better and better. Much of this has to do with the influx of winemakeing expertise in Europe. There are a number of wineries, in partnership with the European vineyards. (Try Montes Alpha "M", and Concha y Toro Almaviva "which is a joint project with the Rothschilds.)

Techniques such as aging in small French oak barrels will also give a wine more aromatic profile of the old world and mouthfeel.

That said, you should be careful what you buy and drink. Like other countries, Chile also produces a lot of wine that may not appeal to palates of experts, currently being designed earlier for consumption in large quantities, and cash flow generation of the cellar.

Certainly not an expert but I'm a snob specific wine. In general, I like red the Old World (the Italians dry in French). I usually find red wines from California and miss low. I recently discovered that the Chilean wine can be delicious! (Montes?) Who are you talking about and why do you ask?

Most Chilean wines that I drink trend towards older style world. I agree with the response of other trend in green pepper, but I like it. They remind me a lot of Cotes du Rhone I had. Not the smelly sock that you get the most Burgundies.

If you go with a Chilean, I would certainly try a Carmenere. There are more and more available than the area becomes popular.

I am not an expert palate, but I drink a buttload of wine.
