Tasting Notes:

97 points James Suckling

This is so aromatic and beautiful with a floral, dark-berry, blueberry and currant character. An underlying finesse and brightness. Very fine tannins. Long and intense finish. Savory. (JS)  (5/2018)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Melbury is profoundly scented of crushed plums, black cherries and cassis with hints of dark chocolate, black pepper, black soil and licorice plus a hint of iron ore. Full-bodied, rich and earthy in the mouth, it has a lovely fine-grained but firm backbone with plenty of freshness, finishing long and peppery. (LPB) 96+  (10/2017)

The 2014 Melbury comes from a site just north of Lake Hennessey that consists of unique, oceanic and clay soils. It’s a pretty, perfumed, seamless beauty offering loads of black cherry and cassis fruit, hints of chocolate and earth, medium to full-bodied richness, no hard edges, and beautiful tannin.
