Given the El Niño-related difficulties of the '98 vintage, this version of Don Melchor is quite nice, and just right for immediate drinking. The bouquet is meaty, with strong leathery notes. Dark cherries and black plums on the palate are Bordeaux-like. Its soft tannins make it very approachable, especially with a lamb stew or something similar.
