It is expensive ($100) but worth each sip!

This 22 years old bottle is gone downhill, with a brownish color to high acid at finishing.

I wish I could have more bottles of this wine. This 12 years old bottle has an outstanding complex aromas,
. Prunes dry figs and black and red berries together with complex aromas that I can’t distinguish. At taste is round, dense and delicious with a balanced tannins and acidity. Short to medium long finishing.

2015 Concha y Toro Cabernet Sauvignon Marqués de Casa Concha Puente Alto

Deep ruby color, nearly opaque. Wonderful nose of black cherry, light “dusty” oak. The dark cherry fruit dominates the flavor profile, with side notes of tart cherry, blackberry and oak. A silky-smooth mouthfeel, with excellent balance of tannins and acidity with an elegant flavor depth without a heavy weight. Medium long finish emphasizing again the balance of tart cherry fruit, well-behaved tannins and another touch of oak. Excellent QPR!

I am sorry to say that this expensive wine has disappointment me. None aromas whatsoever. After pop and up to 2 hours later, no aromas. At taste is round and pleasant with a finishing at dry side.

2/18/20, 11:24 AM - I agree with you and others comments about waiting 10 or 15 years before opening the next three bottles that I have.
I was encouraged to open for two reasons. First, many recent comments and giving high rates, for same wine drunk in 2019 and 2020.
The second reason, with 82 years old, it makes a challenging to wait for next 15 years... to drink it. I will give a try.

This 10 years old private did exceed my expectation. Flavored of dry prunes and figs. A vivid dark red color
Can be drunk now or wait for another 3 to 5 years. Finish is still tannic.
