Purple hue with strange bouquet, steel, some berries showing, but barely.
Palate--Watery mouth feel, a touch sour, not pleasant in the mouth and overall, utter crap. (Or "PLONK" as we say in the wine industry.)
This Non Vintage wine (that's what NV means) is from a respectable region of Chile where they can produce some dynamite Cabernets. Don Melchor is one of the premier world Cabs around. I used to be able to buy it on release for around $40 before it became known to the world. It now runs around $100 on release.
My wife bought this because it was cheap. Bless her heart. It will be the second bottle I pour down the drain tonight. The first one I opened from a long, reliable, Chilean producer was "corked" which is flaw in the production; usually a contaminant.
