The 2009 Melis is from 12-year-old vines, aged in oak for 18 months. It has a precocious bouquet of black cherries, cassis and a touch of violet. The palate is sweet and spicy on the entry and there is good fruit concentration, but once again there is little in the way of focus towards the finish. Drink now-2017.
