Community Tasting Note

• libero wrote: 94 points

  March 24, 2014 - Last bottle drunk was March 2013. By now, one year later and eleven years old, this Don Melchior continues to be a great wine. Like most Chileans wine has almost no dicernable aromas. My wife and I just smmarize as crushed red berries. At taste is a different story. Full body, round , smooth and balanced as the best Merlot from Bordeua. Yes it is close to Merlot than to Cab. Tannins subdue and complex taste justify, for me, an amateur a 94 rate.
