Medium deep color with some spice and fruit. Not a great wine but enjoyable to experience a Cabernet franc from Chinon in Loire — 22 days ago
A beautifully aged ducru that had no cork issues and that was punching above its wait class! Typical tertiary flavors of forest floor, leather and cigar box - with livery dark fruit in the glass. This was the first 70’s Bordeaux that brought a smile! — 22 days ago
Lovely as a young wine with rich red fruit and a backbone of black pepper and savory spice. I would love to revisit this wine in a decade!! — 6 hours ago
Deep garnet in color to match rich dried dark fruit on the nose. Plum and dried black currants in the glass with fresh acidity and firmly integrated tannins. This wine is at its peak and should be consumed soon if you have some in your cellar. — 11 days ago
Rich color in the glass with dark cherry and plum flavors front and center. What a delight to experience! — 22 days ago
Deep garnet color - strikingly so from the Garnacha blends that I was tasting from Priorat. Dark cherry and plum with coarse black pepper on the nose and in the glass. Tasted blind - but so clearly a gem from the southern Rhône. — 22 days ago
Wonderfully clean and fresh presentation with great acidity and roundness. Subtle grapefruit - not tart and not sweet - that provides a strong framework that anchors this wine in contrast to a white burgundy’s minerality. A wonderful wine with seafood!. — 7 hours ago
Yellow with a greenish hue in color. Lime on the front palet and tart green apple on the back palet. Crisp and fresh. There was definite improvement after being opened for a day, recorded, and stored at 40F. I’m still warming up to the Grüner varietal!!! — 20 days ago
I found this Garnacha on the lighter side (from other Garnacha!) but enjoyable for an afternoon glass on its own. Well structured. — 22 days ago

My first exposure to Don Melchor was rewarding! Rich, dark fruit maturity on the nose was consistent with long lasting dark cherries and red plum on the palette. Soft tannins reminiscent of a well aged Cabernet, the softness of this young cab was surprising and delightful! An absolute treat to taste!! — 6 hours ago
