  From Magnum, very sexy, opulent in your face nose of blackberry, blueberry, cassis, spice, vanilla, soft integrated tannins, lacking a little in backbone (especially in comparison to the 2005 Pontet Canet tasted alongside it), but so seductive who could complain

  quite the surprise, drinking very well right now and in a perfect window. I expected it to show more age....

  The wine is still drinking exceptionally well. Gave it an hour of decant and it blossomed beautifully. Yes it’s nearing its end, and likely won’t get better, but it remains an amazing pour. Subtle and refined with hints of cherry, vanilla, and chocolate. Full bodied but the tannins are fully integrated, making for a terrific taste after all these years.

  Loved this bottle, toyed with rating it higher before deciding that it was peaking and this is really the "terminal value." Still has a very bold medium/dark purple color in the glass, strong fragrances right off the bat. Thought about decanting, decided against, and it was right call. Wonderful fruit forward nose of intense cassis, blueberry marmalade, black currant, followed by a nicely placed whiff of tobacco leaf. Agree with some of the other reviewers that this is more Rhone than Bordeaux. Wonderful finish with all the fruit drawing out the length so nicely with the sweet tannins. Got some interesting hints of peppermint and grilled meat as the night wore on, as the fruit might have evolved a bit. I've never had a bad bottle from Melka, just seems they can do no wrong.

  Surprised this was not a good pairing with Porterhouse steak dinner, but was great with some dark chocolate after dinner.
  Big flavors that dominate.
