Tasting Notes

Old school balance of fruit, acidity and tannins, a little dominanted by the acidity, attractive white pepper and sage spices, chaming cassis and pomegrante fruit, earthy charm. This is a 2nd wine that I often enjoy, but it is a little overly marked by the vintage here.

Score: 86

The 2021 Meyney comes across as severe in feel, light and unusually compact. Cedar, mint, spice, iron and white pepper struggle to emerge. This needs more mid-palate depth and more of a delicate hand.

Score: 89

Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2024-2033 27 February 2024

The 2021 Meyney, which has been on a strong run of form of late, has a lovely bouquet with vivid red berry fruit, crushed stone and orange rind scents that are focused and lively. The palate is medium-bodied with a structured opening (as you would expect), more fruit concentration than its peers and a truffle-tinged finish. This will cruise nicely over the next 15 to 20 years.

Score: 92

Cask sample. Excellent depth of flavour and ripeness. Sappy with no skinniness. Really no sign that this was a difficult vintage. Complete. Fresh with ripe tannins dominated by vibrant, ripe fruit. It even has some impressive persistence. It’s not super-ripe but is certainly ripe enough.

Score: 17

A pretty wine with currant, cherry and some spices, such as nutmeg. Subtle this year. Medium body.

Score: 91 - 92

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 01 May 2022

Offering up aromas of cassis, blackberries, spices and creamy new oak, the 2021 Meyney is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with lively acids, powdery tannins and an impressively rich, textural profile for the vintage. It's a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 12% Petit Verdot.

Score: 89 - 91
