Concha y Toro Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
 |
|
BN#227990 |
Made of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc, this luxury wine from Concha y Toro is made of all hand harvested estate fruit from Puente Alto. 'Don Melchor' is named after the founder of the winery, Don Melchor Concha y Toro, who founded the estate in 1883, and consulted with winemakers from Bordeaux at the time to make the best wines possible. His legacy continues today with an emphasis on high quality luxury wines, such as this, as well as fine everyday drinking wines.
Wine Spectator
Still very tight, but the tannins that lead the way now are sleek and refined, and should easily meld into the huge core of roasted chestnut, black currant paste, warm fig and tar. Has a long, coffee- and loam-tinged finish. Best from 2009 through 2019.
Score: 96.
