Tasting Notes:
This 2006 Don Melchor vintage is like the 2005 crew left the building and left someone else to carry on?
Has a nose sharp acrid cran. After 2 hrs open in the glass, still the inky black oily viscous fluid of the monster power-house vin 2005, but tastes differ much. Strong bouquet in glass of still green crushed boysenberry, a most acrid fume. Tastes like soft Merlot, big black fruit notes in the glass, med wt, ghost hints of cigar, fainter still of leather, asphalt, a touch of grass. Like what it could/should be much more so.
Ever so light monosyllabic structure flow across the palette to a smooth, under-whelmingly just okay, quiet finish.
I would serve this wine for:
Friends whom care not, nor know what they imbibe.
I shared this wine with:
Taste note only, even the pal cat Taj was off-busy?
The nose on this wine reminds me of:
Sharp Cranberry, in das glass green crush boysenberry.
This wine would pair well with the following foods:
N/A
I think this wine is priced:
Now it is 25% off, still not worth compared to what is now available from either Chile or Bordeaux, for that matter?
If I have any gripe with this wine, it's that:
Inconsistent vin/vintage
