100 points James Suckling: "This is amazing. The vibrancy and energy in this wine is stunning. The complexity of aromas are breathtaking with flowers, blackcurrants, raspberries and peaches. Full-bodied, yet ever so refined and polished with impeccable texture and beauty. The length is marvelous. This is a testimony to balance, harmony and transparency in a great red. Drink after 2023.

98 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(14.5%). 2018 is rightly regarded as one of the best Chilean red wine vintages of the last 30 years, so it's no surprise that the latest release of Don Melchor is so special. Made from 181 lots covering 151 different vineyard parcels, it's a pure, refined expression of the Andes-cooled Puente Alto terroir. This is only the second time that the blend has included all four Bordeaux varieties on the estate - it's 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot - and the wine is suitably nuanced and well balanced. Scented and floral, with some wild herb top notes, it's an icon that marries energy with power and grip. The tannins are polished, the fruit intense, with cassis and red berry flavours complemented by fresh acidity and scented coffee bean oak. 2023-33. (2021)"
