IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

James Suckling 95 points - Solid and incredible depth reminds me of the Meyneys of the 1960s that were so structured and incredible. Full-bodied yet polished and refined. Super structure..April/2017

Decanter 94 points - Rich and full, this is very St-Estephe: round through the mid-palate, with an amazingly tasty balance of richness and freshness leading to salinity and minerality on the finish. It will need another five to eight years before being ready to drink, but it has to be one of the value picks of the vintage..October/2018

Vinous 90 points - The 2016 Meyney is powerful and absolutely delicious. Black fruit, torrefaction, smoke, licorice and bittersweet chocolate flavors are dark and boldly sketched. Beams of firm tannin add to the wine’s imposing, brooding personality. All the elements fall into place effortlessly in this ample, broad Saint-Estephe..Antonio Galloni, April/2017

Wine Advocate 90 points - The 2016 Meyney has quite an opulent and flamboyant bouquet, which is something I do not expect from this Saint Estephe. It seems to calm down in the glass and attains more delineation and poise. The palate is sweet on the entry with impressive precision, quite linear in style with blackberry, graphite and smoky notes, leading to a finish that offers satisfying persistence. Excellent..Neal Martin, April/2017

The wine is full-bodied, well-rounded and structured. After ageing, the wine displays the remarkable charm of the best Saint-Estèphe: complexity, balance and harmony.
