Product Description
JD99 "Another gem in the lineup, the 2015 Melbury has a more feminine, elegant, seamless profile that certainly doesn?t lack for fruit. Loaded with notions of cassis, blueberries, flowers, and violets, it?s ethereal and elegant on the palate, with sweet fruit and opulence galore. It picks up ample tannins as well as mid-palate depth with time in the glass, is perfectly balanced, and has another 3-4 decades of longevity" JD Jan 2019
RP97 "Bottled in early 2018, the 2015 Melbury is deep garnet-purple colored with beautiful redcurrant jelly and crème de cassis notes with savory notions of tobacco, black olives and smoked meats plus a waft of lavender. The palate is full-bodied, firm and grainy, with a lively line lifting the perfumed, savory layers, finishing long." LPB for TWA Oct 2018
LP97 "The 2015 Melbury is deep garnet-purple in color. It swans out of the glass with flamboyant notes of cassis, black cherry compote, and camphor, with hints of coffee and fertile loam. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and velvety with just enough freshness, finishing long with a minty kick." LPB for TWP Jul 2025
