96 PTS FROM 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. 18,000 cases made." –JM, JULY 08 ISSUE OF THE WINE SPECTATOR
"Don Melchor is the top of the line of the winery Concha Y Toro which is a huge favorite of Wine Spectator. Wine Spectator awarded the 2001 and the 2003 Don Melchor with the 4th placement on their respective "Top 100 Wines of the World" for Wine Spectator. Robert Parker is a fan in particular, of the Don Melchor, giving it 90 plus ratings for the last 6 years in a row. While neither have rated the 2005 yet, the vintage was favorable for South America and this new release is highly anticipated." STAFF NOTES
