...May we suggest overkill? From Concha y Toro, we have what amounts to an instant vertical of their fabulous Don Melchor Cabernet---six bottles; six vintages. The range of flavors promises to be breathtaking, with the '87, '88 and '89 fully mature and the '97, '98, and '99 just coming into their own. While I've never been one to worship the numbers that Robert Parker tosses over his shoulder, here's what The Wine Advocate had to say about the '97:
94 Points. The 1997 Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon is exhibiting some development in color and bouquet. On the palate it remains impressively youthful with layers of flavor and excellent balance in its full-bodied personality. It continues to evolve and may reach its peak by 2015. It should drink well through 2040.
Be sure to give me a call in 2040 to let me know if it lasted!
