Concha y Toro Cabernet Sauvignon Don Melchor 1999

Puente Alto, Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileSpicy, minty, intense cassis fruit with a touch of cedar, chocolate and pepper. Rich, ripe, intensely flavoured with cassis jam, chocolate, vanilla, peppery, spicy flavours. Quite high acid and lots of smoky oak with some roasted pepper, green bean notes on the finish. A bit lean and tannic and quite alcoholic, needs three to five years to soften.Tasted: 24 July 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
