Chateau Meyney, Saint-Estephe, France 2020 Case (6x750ml) Chilis and Hot Spicy Foods Just a hint of bitterness

Just a hint of bitterness at the end

Succulent tannins that are smooth

Bravo to Pierre-Olivier Clouet and his team

A great Cheval Blanc that stands up to the potential that I found during en primeur

Its deep purple hue is followed by a rocking bouquet of pure cassis-like fruit intermixed with graphite

Chateau Meyney, Saint-Estephe, France 2020 Case (6x750ml) Chilis and Hot Spicy Foods Just a hint of bitternessThe 2020 Chateau Meyney is a solid step up, with more elegance and finesse, as well as structure. Giving up medium bodied aromas and flavors of darker currants, black cherries, classy oak, tobacco leaf, and damp earth, it has terrific overall balance, building, fine grained tannins, and a great finish. It has some accessibility today yet will benefit from 3 5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
