The 2006 Melbury has a dense plum/purple color and a big, sweet, scorched earth, creme de cassis and blueberry nose, with hints of charcoal, spice box, and graphite. Rich, well-made, and showing exceptionally well from bottle ,very perfumed with currants and flowers. Very balanced and deep full bodied wine with a long silky finish. it is a wine that will certainly evolve for 35 or more years.
