James Suckling awarded this vintage an exceptional score of 99 out of 100, describing it as "perhaps the greatest Purple Angel ever." He commended its full body, tight and compressed structure, and praised its "amazing texture and density." He particularly noted the "fantastic fine tannins that are silky and polished," highlighting the wine's energy and intensity. Suckling recommended this wine for cellaring but also expressed eagerness to drink it again soon (jamessuckling.com).

On the other hand, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, through reviewer Luis Gutiérrez, gave the 2015 Purple Angel a score of 92. Gutiérrez described the wine as "a ripe, heady and generously oaked blend" with "abundant herbal and spicy aromas and flavors." He noted that it matured in brand new French barriques for 18 months, contributing to its oaky profile. While he appreciated the wine’s potential, he pointed out the presence of grainy tannins and a dry, astringent finish, suggesting that it might need more time in the bottle to achieve balance (Wine Advocate).

Wine Enthusiast also rated the wine at 92 points, with the reviewer highlighting its "sappy, rooty aromas" and "baked black fruit, spice cake and chocolate" notes. Describing it as "lush, chewy and dense," the reviewer praised its massive blackberry, cassis, chocolate, and baking spice flavors, concluding that while it doesn't break new ground, it remains "decidedly appealing" and recommended drinking it through 2021 (Wine Enthusiast).

Wine Spectator echoed the 92-point sentiment, describing the wine as a "lithe red" with "crushed red fruit and dried berry flavors" complemented by "hints of paprika and white pepper." The reviewer noted dried savory herb notes on the "rich and fairly tannic finish" and suggested drinking it now through 2022, with 5,000 cases made (Wine Spectator).

In summary, the 2015 Montes Purple Angel is a robust and complex wine that has garnered strong reviews for its rich flavors and aging potential, with James Suckling providing particularly high praise.
