Tasting Notes

A wine with a pretty balance of spices, blackberry, mint, and ripe fruit follow through to a full body, fine tannins and a spicy, chocolate and walnut character. Pretty balance of fruit and tannins. Better in 2016.

Score: 92

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 28 September 2017

It is good to see this well-situated estate in St.-Estephe get back on track. The 2010 has loads of beef blood, charcuterie and smoked game along with black currant fruit. Some underlying graphite notes are also present in this full-bodied, meaty, fleshy wine, which has outstanding concentration and the potential to last for 15 or more years. It is a major sleeper of the vintage.

Score: 90

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2028 01 February 2013

This dense ruby/purple-hued 2010 exhibits lots of damp earth and black and red fruit notes along with moderate tannins. It appears to be the finest Meyney produced in many years (this estate made sensational wines in the 1970s and early to mid-1980s). It should drink well for 10-15 years.

Score: 89 - 91

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 04 May 2011

Dark thick colour with legs coating the glass. Some thick tobacco on the nose. Good attack, sturdy but smooth with good depth of ripe fruit and firm structured tannins on the finish.

Score: 90 - 92

Albany Vintners, - 27 April 2011

Very dark crimson. Lively and fragrant. With a very solid undertow. Lots of tannin and dryness but not exaggerated. Very refreshing, even if not that deep flavoured or long. This could be a GV.

Score: 16 - 17

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2016-2023 21 April 2011

Always a solid performer, the Meyney has a ripe blackberry and bilberry nose with a veneer of creamy new oak. Moderate definition. The palate is full-bodied with dense, chewy fruit, thick and robust with a tannic finish with ample fruit. I think this will show much better after bottling. Tasted April 2011. (89-91+ Points)

Score: 89 - 91

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 13 April 2011

Dark, pure and driven, with seriously focused black currant, anise and plum notes and a long, graphite-filled finish. A strong showing.

Score: 91 - 94
