Concha y Toro
Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Lovely balance of red and black fruit - blackberry, cassis, wild strawberry, violet, with graphite, coal ash, dried fennel and mint. Great energy and the tertiary notes of forest floor and mushroom are just beginning to show. Long finish.

Jan 24th, 2023Found another one of these ‘09 beauties. Deep ruby with aromas of coffee and chocolate wrapped in dark fruits. On the palate well pronounced pleasant flavors of black fruits, blackberry and ripe cherry, cassis, espresso and bittersweet cacao. The wine had plenty of oak and well-structured tanins. This wine should continue to age well. WOW!

Dec 10th, 2018I know I opened this way too early... but it's still delicious! Tart blackberries but as the wine keeps opening up its nicely mellowing.
