98 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
Read
The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Melbury (a dead ringer for Pauillac) has an opaque blue/purple color and an extraordinarily sweet nose of charcoal, lead pencil shavings, cedar wood, black currants, licorice and spice box. Full-bodied, with great intensity, purity and texture, this is a wonderfully dense, full-throttle wine that is still an adolescent and likely to stay one for at least another 5-7 years. Look for it to age gracefully well past 20-30+ years.

This wine embodies the finesse of the Melbury site, offering aromas of red currants, crushed violets, and a hint of cigar box. The palate is elegantly structured, with layers of red fruit, graphite, and subtle earthiness. Its fine tannins and graceful balance make it a classic example of age-worthy Napa Valley Cabernet.
