A very tight and closed nose at the moment, cassis with a hint of pyrazine, liquorice, and baked earth. The palate is rich and textured with great energy and depth - the oak is so well judged with dense and fine-grained tannins that coat the palate and refresh the wine. This is really attractive and manages to balance intensity and richness while always remaining refreshing. A wonderful Don Melchor, I suspect this will drink well soon and age extremely well.
