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.

2020 Vintage - 97pts James Suckling

Deep violet in colour, intense, and with great aromatic complexity of red fruits together with oral notes of violets and roses. On the palate, it is a tasty wine with a so spell and a superb freshness, along with the elegance and power so characteristic of Puente Alto. It is a wine with a velvety texture, lush body, and a very long and persistent finish.

“Deep and serious with black olives, blackberries, blueberries, tobacco leaf, sweet red capsicum, ash, dried meat and a hint of black chocolate. This is a more direct, full-bodied Don Melchor, filled with solid blackberries and wrapped by tight, fine-grained tannins,”
