Product Information: The new vintage of Don Melchor is finally here! Every single vintage of this wine has lots of characters to offer for the price. This particular vintage is intense, complex and boasts very fullbodied wines. On the nose, there is espresso, tobacco and earthy notes of tomato leaf. But in the mouth, it is silky, with notes of dates, backberries, black tea and soft tannins. An amazing wine under $100. Wine Spectator Review: Still a touch tight, but dense, focused and layered, with well-integrated structure underneath loam, blackberry, espresso, tobacco and sage notes. The long finish has nice drive, with the loam edge stretching out. This has the poise and balance for cellaring. Drink now through 2017. Tanzer Review: Glass-staining ruby. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of raspberry, cherry compote and potpourri, made more complex by notes of musky herbs and tobacco. The yield in '07 was reportedly pitifully low but this wine comes off as lithe and energetic, with excellent clarity and sweet red fruit character. Finishes with noteworthy length, clarity and a juicy red fruit character, and with very soft tannins. This will drink well young or with age. I also had the chance to re-visit the 2006 Don Melchor, and it has put on weight and richness since last year, but with no loss of vivacity. I'd keep my hands off my bottles for at least another five years. | ||||
