Concha y Toro Don Melchor Vineyard 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Puente Alto, Chile), current price begins at $164.99, 93 points, poured core black and barely transitioning to a muddy purple/reddish towards the thin bleeding russet meniscus.
The bouquet of subtle tertiary notes of coffee, brandy, floral red licorice, and herbal notes were rich.
The 2007 Don Melchor which sat in my Euro-cave for a dozen years, was full-bodied, showed good acidity, fine mellow tannins, and lively spice-infused flavors reflective of the bouquet.
Finished long, a bit tart, showed hints of mint, iron, and loam notes with a well-balanced 14% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my Texas burger.
