Wine Advocate, 98+ Points

"From a higher site in the Pritchard Hill area, the 2010 Melbury appears to be prodigious, but is currently extremely backward. My notes indicate it should be forgotten for 7-10 years. With coaxing, this structured 2010 offers up aromas of blueberry liqueur, black currants, charcoal and spring flowers. It possesses gorgeous purity and remarkable incremental richness, but it is quite brooding and backward. Everything it needs for a great future is present, but patience will definitely be required."

Vinous, 97 Points

"Exotic, ripe and yet also quite structured, the 2010 Melbury is a picture-perfect example of a vintage that was mostly cool, until late season heat spikes pushed the fruit through to full ripeness. The aromatics are starting to show some signs of development, but the tannins need time to soften. This is an especially flamboyant edition of Melbury. Today, the 2010 is a stunner."

James Suckling, 95 Points

"This starts off slowly and moves quickly to the back palate. Blackberry and raspberry character with hints of forest mushroom. Full body with chewy tannins at the finish. Extremely polished. Try in 2017."

Wine Spectator, 93 Points

"Offers a dense tannic backbone, making this a well-built, firm and structured infant that shows both depth and restraint, gaining richness and dimension on the finish. Best from 2015 through 2028."

Alcohol: 14.5%
