31 Jan, 2022 – Notes of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries, vanilla, licorice and dark chocolate with touches of earthiness and nutmeg-like spice. Medium-bodied with ripe, velvety tannins and delicious fruit. Polished and refined. Try after 2023.

The 2019 Meyney is a deep, powerful wine. It shows all the richness and intensity that are such signatures, but with that added kick of vibrancy that has become the norm in recent years. Tobacco, cedar, wild flowers, mint and incense add layers of nuance to a core of red/purplish fruit. The 2019 is beautifully done.

The 2019 Meyney has a well-defined, fragrant, floral bouquet of ample red currant and cranberry fruit, touches of pencil shaving and smoke emerging with aeration, followed later by the tertiary aspect that one associates with the appellation. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, black pepper and graphite, tightening toward the finish but still showing fine length. This is a very fine Meyney that may warrant a higher score down the line.

A solid, slightly burly version, featuring streaks of tar and bay leaf mixed with dark plum and black currant preserve flavors. The finish is underscored by a warm paving stone note, which adds cut, drive and a hint of old school. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2036. 16,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Reife Beerenfrucht, eingelegte Kirschen, Vanille, kandierte Orangenzesten. Mittlere Komplexität, rote Kirschen, etwas rau, wirkt zart überextrahiert, mineralisch, wird von Reife profitieren.

Aromas and flavors of blackberries and blueberries with walnut and coffee-bean notes. Medium to full body. integrated tannins and a flavorful finish. Excellent. but not the 2018.

Deep purple-black in color. the 2019 Meyney strides confidently out of the glass with classic notes of cassis. warm plums and baked blackberries plus hints of cedar chest. bay leaves. pencil lead and clove oil plus a waft of underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate has a generous core of ripe black fruits with a slight touch of oak poking through and a firm backbone of ripe. grainy tannins. finishing with impressive length. 90-92+

The 2019 Meyney is well defined on the bouquet. leaning a little more towards the red side of the fruit spectrum with raspberry. wild strawberry and floral scents. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. It has a citric element from start to finish. a taut line of acidity with light spicy notes towards the finish that shares the brininess of stablemate Grand Puy Ducasse. Very fine. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
