2018 Don Melchor Cab Sauv (Chile/Maipo) $100

 Received 96 from Vinous, 95 from Parker.

Quite fruity with gentle tannins that complement the finish. ALcohol in good balance with acid and fruit. Long finish, very little sense of puckering from tannin. Lots of fruits, some tea and mint, yes some sour cherry as Vinous says but also a hint of stone fruit, violet, oak, cassis. Just delicious fruit. Woodsy, piney with air. I have a second bottle of this in the Eurocave.
