Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2007-2022, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2019

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels (60% new, 40% second-use). Very deep crimson indeed. Exceptional colour compared with earlier vintages. Ripe and round and less obviously Puente Alto. No mineral element. Just big blustering fruit which seems a shame. Less terroir-driven? (JR)

The barrel sample of the 2000 Don Melchor I tasted was medium to dark ruby/purple-colored. It reveals candied red fruit aromas and a majestically concentrated character. This jammy, cherry and raspberry-flavored wine has outstanding potential. It is spicy, broad-shouldered, and powerful. Projected maturity: 2008-2018. Congratulations to Concha y Toro and winemaker Enrique Tirado for this fascinating and enlightening lineup of delicious wines.
