Château Meyney
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Estèphe, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
A really impressive 2011, with unusual aromatic lift and palate density. On the darker side of the fruit hue - crushed blackberry and cassis, along with some coffee, earth, and woody notes. Tannins are ripe and polished which give it a sense of breadth. I think this will live longer than many of it’s 2011 compatriots. Well done, a very good buy at < 25€ .

This is surprisingly nice for a Bordeaux from a supposed “off” year. Nose has cassis, cedar, blackberry, smoky gravel, iodine. Rich and soft in the mouth, tremendous length. Still seems fresh. Love it with grilled bavettes.

Really delicious and drinking well. Nice balance with soft tannins and dark fruit.

Still a solid player. Deep color. Ruby red. Solid tannins. Lots of strong cherry flavor and long finish. 41% Cabernet 44% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot. Steak tonight. Decant this one.
