The 2018 Meyney is a real success in this vintage. While showing the charm and genorosity of this warmer vintage there is a real sense of harmony and balance, no doubt driven by the cooling proximity of the Gironde. The wine has notes of dark cherry and plum, sandalwood, cocoa, and five spice notes with fleshy, ripe tannins caressing the fruit bramble fruit. There is a kelpy, soy like note that runs behind the fruit adding complexity, with a real sense of intensity that persists on the finish.
The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Meyney gives up blackcurrants, black berries and plums on the nose with earth and spices plus fried herbs and lots of oak. The big, full-bodied palate has some promising fruit but is a bit hard and oaky.
It's clear that this is hugely concentrated, as is the Montrose right next door, but there's also beautiful juice and freshness underneath the black fruits and the powerful grip. Tannins, acidity and fruit: it's all there. This is great quality and should be long-lived, with a rich palate, evenly balanced and austere in all the right places. Another good vintage at this increasingly impressive property.
A very dense yet tight and focused red with blackcurrants, blackberries and hints of spices and walnuts. Full-bodied, very compact and long. Intense finish.
The 2018 Meyney is powerful, dense and super-expressive. Gravel, game, scorched earth, smoke, licorice, incense and spice infuse this potent, virile Saint-Estèphe. The fruit profile and oak integration point to a transition towards a less extracted style. Even so, there is plenty of the richness readers have come to expect from Meyney. Tasted two times.
