A sleeper of the vintage, the 2011 Meyney possesses an opaque ruby/purple colour as well as a big, sweet bouquet of black olives, black currants, charcoal and earth. Dense and medium to full-boided, this classic St.-Estephe offers good acidity and ripe tannin. It should drink well for 12-15 years.
Features a well-buried chalky spine, allowing dark plum and black currant fruit to take the lead, while a smoldering charcoal edge frames the finish. Pleasantly austere, with the fruit to match.

TASTING NOTES
This has concentration and depth, with a very gravelly undertow to the dark plum and cassiss fruit, by a mouthwatering tobacco edge. Shows depth and drive on the finish.
This Château Meyney vintage is an allround critics favourite with Bordeaux legend Robert Parker awarding it a cherished 90 points.
This wine is produced by a prestigious Chateau in the heart of Medoc, exuding tradition and modern style in equal measure. The estate sits in the picturesque Left Bank commune of Saint-Estèphe. And while Chateau Meyney is hailed as an estate of great history and tradition, its wines surprise with a decidedly modern, delectable style that is expressive and bold with upfront fruit.
This Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend is described by Robert Parker as possessing a deep palate of black fruit, herbs and earthy tones complimented by good acidity and ripe tannins that can still get better with age.
