Chateau Meyney 2022

JAMES SUCKLING: "Impressive concentration here with compact tannin structure. Medium- to full-bodied. Firm and steady with a long, velvety finish. Minerally and crunchy."

WEINWISSER: "Verhaltener Beginn, frisch gepflückte schwarze Johannisbeere, Szechuanpfeffer, Heidelbeergelee und getrocknetes Heidekraut. Am kompakten Gaumen mit verlangendem, engmaschigem Tanninkorsett und burschikosem Körper. Im konzentrierten, langen Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen, Estragon und mehlige Adstringenz. Kann noch zulegen. 2028 – 2048."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Leafy herbs, tobacco, currants, spice, and spearmint notes show easily in the nose, and on the long, rich palate. The wine finishes with creamy-textured currants, cocoa, spearmint, and bitter chocolate on the end note. This should age quite nicely. Drink from 2026-2045."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Opening in the glass with aromas of sweet dark berries, licorice and petals, the 2022 Meyney is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit girdled by sweet but firm tannins. Pure and taut, it is a strong effort that will require a bit of patience."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: „Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Meyney comes skipping out with delightful notes of wild blueberries, redcurrant jelly, and juicy plums, leading to hints of chocolate mint and lilacs. The medium to full-bodied palate is generously fruited, with a solid frame of grainy tannins to match, finishing with just enough freshness."
