The 1987, 1995, 1999, 1999, 2004, 2014, and 2018 vintages were part of this extensive tasting that lasted just over two hours. The expert was relaxed to taste and reflect on each one, concluding that each wine had something to say for itself.

Overall, Alistair was very impressed, his favorite being the 2018 vintage, which he had already tried in a virtual tasting with Don Melchor’s technical director, Enrique Tirado. However, he had a better perception on this occasion, making this instance a new recognition for Don Melchor as a true benchmark among high-end wines globally.
