CRITIC REVIEWS
Luis Gutiérrez
Marking its 30th anniversary, the 2017 Don Melchor was produced 30 years after the initial 1987. This is a wine that transcends vintages and shows great regularity, always combining elegance and power, with subtle mintiness and superb elegance. It's juicy, textured and velvety. This is a superb showing in 2017, a warm year and a fresh wine. Bravo! And the volume is not smalla 156,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in December 2018.

98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc. Hot, dry start to the year but a great season. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels (67% new, 33% second-use). Bottled November 2018. Launched October 2019. Enrique thinks they now really understand each parcel so that for each they can put the correct tannins in the correct position re timing, temperature, and pumpovers. Lustrous crimson. So delightfully subtle as well as sweet. Make all those with a prejudice against Chilean wine taste this! Balsam and ink and stoniness with real vibrancy. Much fleeter of foot than many a red bordeaux. Rich but not heavy or obviously sweet. So good!
