justerini & brooks tasting note

Meyney - A beautifully high-toned and plush, berry and plum laden claret with wonderful weight and balance, deftly finished with subtle liquorice and clove spice and early signs of truffle and forest floor notes.

critic reviews

92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2017 Meyney is building upon its promising showing after bottling. It has a polished, well-defined bouquet of blackberry, cedar, mint and damp clay/potter's wheel, perhaps demonstrating even more precision than a few months ago. The palate displays very fine tannins and good grip on the clove-tinged finish. A judiciously spiced and impressively proportioned Saint-Estèphe; a decade ago, under the same growing growing conditions, Meyney would not have produced a wine nearly as good as this 2017. Tasted at a vertical at Château Meyney.

90+/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple, the 2017 Meyney opens a little broody, giving way to red cherries, black berries and stewed tea scents with a waft of dried herbs. Medium-bodied, the palate is chock-full of vibrant black fruits with ripe, grainy tannins and a refreshing kick to the finish.
