Melka
Majestique St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Phillipe Melkas 1st vintage (i think?) of this st emillion grand cru classe. Earthy funky had some power to it. No cab sav in this one but but drinks like its there. Intense blackberry, dusty leather and scorched earth. At 7 years old this was still young and tannic as double hockey sticks. Fun to drink but sorta wish id waited another 7 years

I’m a bit disappointed in this bottle. I had been hoping this bottle would be as good as the last one I had. 66% Cab Franc, 33% Merlot…I wonder what the last 1% was???

Sep 16th, 2021I think this is my favorite bottle of the Majestique that I have ever had. I wonder if is that I have allowed this to age more than previous bottles? I’ll have to try another bottle to check out my theory.

Just not my favorite Melka wine. At home with BBQ tenderloin.

Apr 13th, 2020As I keep saying, this isn’t my favorite Melka wine. It comes as part of the care package...that’s why I don’t belong to the club any longer...just don’t like getting expensive stuff that isn’t my favorite. Doesn’t mean I don’t like his other wines. Had with Indian take away at out hotel.
