    Lovely developed nose but a bit fragile/slender on the palate. Classical and still nice but starting to go downhill.

  • 1986 Château Meyney 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe

    Animalist and fecal nose and a hint of black currants.
    Tigth and plenty of fruit on the palate with a hint of dirt. Harsh tannin structure but overall a nice wine.
    Somewhat unbalanced.

    Delicious and in a wonderful balance. Lots of juicy black currants and an impressive long aftertaste.
    Still young and has plenty of spicy structure. Very impressive wine!!

    Impressive young tight fruit with some sewer notes but also lots of juicyness.
    Still very fresh and plenty of life left! What a treat to taste such a rare wine!
