Tasting Note
2022 Vintage - 99pts Patrick Schmitt
Don Melchor 2022 offers intensely expressive aromas dominated by red fruit and floral notes followed by blackcurrants and blackberries. On the palate, it has a smooth entry evolving into mouth-filling flavours in a sumptuous wine with tremendous concentration and great energy and breadth. The fine textures and great balance reappear on the long finish, accompanied by very expressive fruity aromas that come to the fore.
“The latest release of Don Melchor is outstanding. It takes a few sips to assess all the myriad flavors, including cherry jam and blackberry coulis with crushed raspberry and sweet cassis, followed by toast and vanilla cream, then cracked black pepper and cedar wood. There’s spice, and fine, dense, dry tannin to bring a mouthwatering close to”, described by Patrick Schmitt, Master of Wine when tasting the 2022 vintage of Don Melchor.
2014 Vintage - 98pts James Suckling
Excellent expression of Cabernet Sauvignon’s characteristic red fruit aromas followed by mineral notes of ash and pencil lead. Great complexity on the palate with outstanding concentration and freshness accompanied by velvety tannins.
"Wonderful aromas of stones, mint and blackcurrants. Sweet tobacco. Tile and rust. So aromatic. This is the best Don Melchor I have ever tasted. Full body, very soft yet firm and silky. It has tension, intensity and balance."
What does this wine tast like?
Don Melchor
Don Melchor is the faithful expression of a Cabernet Sauvignon from a specific terroir in the Puente Alto Vineyard, which is divided into blocks that are homogenous in vigour. The second vintage of Don Melchor (1988) becomes the first Chilean wine to be named to the Top 100 Wines of the World list published annually by the influential US magazine Wine Spectator. This accomplishment marks a milestone in the Chilean wine industry and positions Don Melchor as an undeniable benchmark among New World wines
