The renowned British Master of Wine Tim Atkin scored the 2020 vintage of Don Melchor at an exceptional 96 points.

Along with his excellent score for the most recent vintage of Don Melchor, Atkin defined the wine as “Deftly oaked in 71% new oak, it has alluring graphite and dried herb aromas, cassis, fig and red berry fruit, serious but not overwhelming tannins and more finesse and freshness in its youth than the 2017 with which Tirado rightly compares it.”

In his review, Atkin comments that the release of this vintage is “a triumph over the demanding vintage conditions, which were the hottest and driest in Don Melchor’s thirty-four-year history,” highlighting the talent and experience of Enrique Tirado, Don Melchor’s technical director and CEO.
