Among the nicest new world Syrahs I've found. Noticable tanins, smokey bite that gets stronger after a few days. — a month ago

Don Melchor comes from a unique 313-acre vineyard planted on the rock soils of one of the Maipo River’s oldest terraces at the foot of the Andes Mountains, one of the world’s most celebrated terroirs for cabernet sauvignon.

The 2014 Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard gives both old world and new world expressions. This wine is full-bodied, rich, and elegant. Dark red fruit. Beautifully balanced. The vintage is 92% cabernet sauvignon and 8% cabernet franc. I recommend a healthy decant before enjoying.

If in Dallas right now, I recommend sitting with this one next to a fireplace. — 2 months ago

Rich bright with an interesting vegetable herb flavor maybe radish. Some may not like the different flavor but it makes a pleasant change. — a month ago

Impressive Chile blend that has Carmenere in it with Cabernet Sauvignon leading the Bordeaux mix. Will be more resolved in 3-4 years, perhaps. — 2 months ago

Finally! Trying the revered Montes Purple Angel for the first time. Can’t stress this enough: must, must, decant or aerate in order to suppress the green bell pepper note, especially on this young vintage. After that, the wine is pretty decadent with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, a peculiar cedar note, and a slight balancing herbal tone. The finish is lengthy, structured with round and persist tannins. Cheers. — a month ago

Still very primary with ripe fruit and coconut oak, but the oak faded and acid comes out with air, I’d still age it if I owned any. — a month ago
