Description
The 2019 Don Melchor has an intense nose of dense blackcurrant, accompanied by gentle nuances of toast, gravel and green herb. This wine has a wonderful elegance, with dense blackcurrant and blackberry-vanilla fruit, and a wonderful freshness which stops it from being remotely rich. The texture is charming, with a light level of barely perceptible, ultra-soft tannins which melt away upon tasting. This is a wine which combines the sweetness and ripeness of Chile with the finesse and class of Bordeaux. It is delicious. Drink 2022–2035.
