Château Meyney 2017 – Saint-Estèphe

The nose is aromatic, gourmand and offers a fine richness. It reveals notes of fleshy strawberry, caramelized oak, vanilla and small touches of ripe red berries, blackberry associated with discreet hints of cornflower, minerality as well as an imperceptible hint of spices and an imperceptible hint of Cuben pepper (in the background). The palate is fresh, fruity, well-balanced, precise, clean, net and offers a beautiful definition, a fine mineral frame, a fine freshness, fullness, a fine suavity, precision, a fine tension, a beautiful finesse of the grain, a beautiful guideline as well as straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, crushed strawberry and more slightly crushed raspberry associated with small touches of vanilla, fleshy/ripe small black fruits, toasted oak, racy/gritty minerality as well as a very discreet hint of graphite (in the background), toasted oak and an imperceptible hint of sugared mild tobacco. Tannins are slightly firm. Good length. Beautiful potential. (2024+)
