The richly textured core of raspberry and plum flavors show precision and just enough acidity to keep things sailing onto the finish around well-integrated tannins and touches of cocoa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This extraordinary 96 points is the highest score ever awarded to a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon and has been received five times by Don Melchor in its vintages: 2003, 2005, 2014, 2015, and now with its 35th vintage, the 2021.
