Tasting notes
Cassis, Bing cherries, spicy wood, and floral cedar notes emerge from the 2024 Château Meyney. Medium-bodied and showing solid concentration, it has ripe tannins and a noticeable touch of oak that will benefit from time to integrate. It's a well-made Saint-Estèphe that should come together nicely in bottle.

The 2024 Meyney reveals a brooding, dark bouquet of dark berries, spices and oak. Medium-bodied, firm and compact, it's built around brittle tannins, concluding with a cigar-inflected finish.
Leafy character on the opening, but it settles into itself and the mid palate fills out with cocoa bean and fleshy cherry pit, fresh acidities, uplift on the finish.
The 2024 Meyney has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and light cassis notes, but I just seek a little more delineation and nuance. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and saline with sappy black fruit, finely knit tannins and a cohesive finish. I like the length of this Meyney and, given its reasonable price, it should be worth seeking out once released.
