For a 2013, pretty good effort. Nose dominated by stalkiness, earth, unripe blackberry. Taste had sweet and sour berries, definite edge of menthol. Some phenolic smells and tastes in there too. Short finish. Strong tannins not yet resolved. Tasted after double decant and an hour. So this could still improve. Not profound but a great success for the difficulties of the vintage. Very good QPR in that it is an honest and complete expression of St Estephe for a reasonable price compared to anything else in class. Score: 88. Relative to expectations: +

Awful - bitter, no fruit or flavour, long sour aftertaste. I should have paid more attention to the unfavourable cellar tracker reviews!

Unbalanced with unripe fruits and too much bitterness. Château Meyney shouldn't have bottled this in this poor vintage.
