This is what good wine from the Melnik 55 grape tastes like

The red Melnik 55 (or Early Melnik) grape produces fairly robust red wines with good acidity and tannin, and excellent aging potential. Melnik 55 should not be confused with Broad-Leaved Melnik. It is the result of crossing this grape with pollen from other grape varieties.

The confusion is obvious. Menik 55 (also called Melnik 82 or Early Melnik) is the result of mixing the "regular" Melnik (also called Broad Leaved Melnik or Shiroka Melnishka) with pollen from the obscure southwestern French Valdiguié and Dyurif, Zhyrason, and Cabernet Sauvignon. And like the "regular" Melnik, it grows only in the Struma River valley in southwestern Bulgaria, on the border with Greece.
