  Done. This style has not aged well. Oak has turned sour and the once extracted fruit is thin/watery. Likely peaked at age 5. Drinkable still.

  Rich black fruits with tobacco leaf. Smooth to drink but still going strong.

  As mentioned, the fruit on this wine is more than one might expect from Melka, but it is still a gorgeous wine. Also, comment about wine nearing end is something I might tend to agree, to a point. No rush, but wouldn't let it sit too much longer. I had the sensation that wine opened up after about an hour or so and then started to fade.

  Pop and pour. Good but on the decline with all elements fully resolved/integrated and almost watered down. Cool blackberry, aged leather, spearmint, plums, and some woody notes. Time to drink.

  PnP , very enjoyable. Seems it needed a little more air time. Drank along 2 other wines, this wine stood out for its structure and elegance and quality juice. I just wish I had given it more time and a decant.
