Tasting note

This ripe, dense red delivers base notes of humus, mocha and toasty oak supporting the rich cassis, black cherry and dark plum fruit character. There's fine tannins for support, but this is all rich fruit on the spicy finish. Drink now through 2018. Score - 94. (Nathan Wesley, winespectator.com, Oct. 15, 2012)

Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep, dark-red and has a bouquet of ripe fruit, chocolate and tobacco, accompanied with notes of vanilla. The palate is smooth with good depth, balanced and very elegant.

Deep cherry red. Elegant and complex, brimming with notes of black currants and spice complemented by chocolate and tobacco. Soft tannins give way to evolving freshness with an elegant, persistent finish.

Featured in TASTE Magazine, Winter 2012 issue. Named for the Concha Y Toro winery founder, Don Melchor, this has become Chile’s best known icon wine since 1987. Flavours of currants, red fruit, cedar, tobacco and oak nuances give way to a powerful yet inviting palate of ripe fruit and tannins. While approachable now the track record suggests it can cellar up to 10 years or more.
