It also has open black fruits that pair alongside the generous tannins. It is good long-term aging.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 93-95\u003cbr\u003e95 Vinous\u003cbr\u003eThe 2019 Meyney has a divine bouquet, so pure and winsome with floral red berry scents, beautifully integrated new oak and superb precision. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy to the point where you can almost overlook the backbone of this Saint-Estephe. It could have been blowsy, yet it retains superb balance and feels luxuriant and long on the finish. This is a stellar showing easily eclipsing its performances either in barrel or just after bottling.\u003cbr\u003e93 Decanter\u003cbr\u003eOne of the wines I use as a marker of how good the vintage is in St Estèphe, because it isn't classified but is in a brilliant location right next door to Montrose. And this is good, extremely concentrated, pure cassis and bilberry flavours, tons of tannins, clear austerity and fairly high acidity as I am getting in a lot of these 2019s. Not the same luscious character as 2018, but in many ways that makes it more typical of the appellation, and the alcohol seems less over the top than in 2018. Lots to enjoy here, not quite up to 2016 standard but not far. Tasted two weeks apart, and if anything its expression had deepened second time around.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 93\u003cbr\u003e93 Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solid, slightly burly version, featuring streaks of tar and bay leaf mixed with dark plum and black currant preserve flavors. The finish is underscored by a warm paving stone note, which adds cut, drive and a hint of old school. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e92 James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas of ripe berries, licorice and chocolate with a touch of mushroom and some dustiness. Silky, polished texture with medium body and firm tannins. Holds long and even, with a lingering sensation of crushed stones. Hold for a couple of years. Second wine of Meyney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e92 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCassis, currants, ripe tobacco, and cedar pencil notes define the bouquet of the 2019 Château Meyney, a medium to full-bodied, concentrated Saint-Estèphe that shows the elegant, moderately concentrated, yet nicely structured and balanced style of the vintage. It's already accessible with a decant but will benefit from just a handful of years in the cellar and have 15 years or more of longevity.

This is an understated but charming Saint-Estèphe that has turned out nicely in bottle.
