Note di degustazione
The 2001 Melbury has developed quite a bit since I last tasted it four years ago. There's still quite a bit of energy, but the signs of maturity are now evident. Sweet dried cherry, tobacco, spice, cedar, licorice and dried herbs lend nuance. Today, the Melbury is rather understated and classy, whereas in previous tastings I have found it more powerful.

Healthy dark red-ruby. Very suave, complex, claret-like scents of redcurrant, plum, tobacco, smoke, dried flowers and loam. Then bright and delineated on the palate, projecting outstanding vinosity to its wonderfully subtle flavors of dark raspberry, plum, minerals and spices. This very intense, subtle, long midweight still has some unwinding to do, but it's showing spectacularly today.
Black cherry, cedar, smoke, tobacco and grilled herbs give the 2001 Melbury its distinctive masculine personality. The 2001 is an especially dark, brooding Melbury that will appeal most to readers who enjoy structured, powerful wine. It should drink well for another 10 years or so. This is classic 2001.
