The 1996 Concha y Toro Don Melchor is a notable Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the Puente Alto vineyard in Chile`s Maipo Valley. This vintage is marked by a complex structure, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry and hints of leather, alongside herbal undertones and earthy notes. The palate offers a balance of ripe fruit and savoury elements, with well-integrated tannins and a length that suggests further evolution. Concha y Toro, established in 1883, is recognised for its commitment to quality, with Don Melchor serving as its flagship expression from this acclaimed vineyard.
