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.

2017 Vintage - 99pts James Suckling (2020)

Deep cherry red in color. Don Melchor 2017 is a wine with extraordinary elegance. Full of aromas and flavors and a marked presence of red berries. On the palate, there are strong notes of Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto, with fine and delicate tannins, while also providing a good density and long-lasting finish.

“Fantastic aromas of blackcurrants and other dark fruit with crushed stone, iron and oysters, following through to a full body that shows incredible energy and depth, offering ripe yet fresh fruit, together with bright herbs and earth. Precision and balance of the intensity of the vintage. Layered. Perhaps the greatest Don Melchor ever made"
