2000 Concho y Toro Don Melchor

Have no idea where this hummer came from. Deep ruby color. Lots of spicy, fruity notes that are enveloped by a ton of tannins. So much so that I got the impression of an almost bitter note in the finish. Was watching the nice effort by the normally inept Cardinals so didn't pay as much attention as I should have. No score.

Spectator sure approved with a 94. I have one waiting for the right time in the cellar.

As stated, had no ideer whenced this sucker came into my possession. Now I've found out it was a gift. I've ordered some and will give it a much better shake on the next tasting. WW

Stuff is selling out at a rapid rate since they placed a full page ad in the Spectator two issues and running. $35 for a 94 is a good selling point I guess.
