2008 - Chateau Meyney

"The finest Meyney since the fabulous efforts produced in the late seventies and early eighties, it is good to see this estate, which has a top-flight vineyard, get back in shape. The dense purple-colored 2008 offers up notes of crushed rocks, blue fruits, flowers, earth, and spice. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, good acids, and a layered mouthfeel, it should drink well for 15-20 years." -The Wine Advocate, 89-91 pts.
"Aromas of blackberry and chocolate follow through to a medium body, with pretty fruit and fine tannins. Well-crafted. Could turn out even better." -Wine Spectator, 89-89 pts.
