Le nez est plutôt floral et végétal (herbacé), ainsi que des épices et du sous-bois ; peu fruité...cerise noir et cassis. Ressemblance avec certain Saint-Émilion selon moi... Un vin souple et corsé, rond avec des saveurs de fruits noirs, de tabac, de nouveau cuir et de cassis. Finale moyenne sur du fruits mûrs...griotte. Belle surprise ! À boire d'ici 1-2 ans. 90-

Plum, cassis and boysenberry leap out of the glass. An enticing citric component, spicy eucalyptus and a stony minerality is also part of a very interesting nose.
A juicy punch on the palate with noticeable but very well-integrated tannins. Quite fruit-acidic and cherry-laden.
This is on the top of its game. Will hold but not develop.

Classic cabernet on the nose. Cassis and mint dominates. Vibrant and fresh fruit on the palate. Rich and concentrated. Long finish. Still has a long life ahead

Alongside with Amelia chardo. Very closed, somewhat reduced and fully concentrated. Wood stands out in all aspects leaving memories of spices, tobacco and leather. I don't know when this will be ready to be drunk but at least leave it for another ten years. G'luck! I am tempted to change consumption dates of my "Don Melchor".
Junto con el chardo Amelia. Muy cerrado, algo reducido y totalmente concentrado. La madera sobresale en todos los aspectos dejando recuerdos a especias, tabaco y cuero. No se cuándo estará esto listo para ser bebido pero al menos déjalo diez años. ¡Suerte! Estoy tentado de cambiar las fechas de consumo de mi "Don Melchor".

Beautiful composition on the nose. Cassis, plum, mint, graphite and a caramel note.
Full-bodied palate. Fruit-powered with a salty touch. Long finish.

At first plentiful of classic cabernet aromas of mineral cassis and pencil shavings. Then comes more subtleness and a more herbal character
You notice the strength on the palate but you also get plenty of freshness and acidic juicyness from the berry flavours. Long pleasant finish.
