January 7, 2023 - Saw this on WineBid for $20 a while back and couldn’t resist. Wanted to see what Meiomi used to be like.
Cork was in perfect condition and came out with ease with the Durand. Medium dark garnet in color with some bricking on the edge.
From the nose, it appears to be over the hill – wet tomato leaf, wet tobacco leaf, wet pine needles, and stale spices.
Medium bodied, integrated, lively acidity, and a bit of sweetness in that 4-6g/l range. Upon the first sip, I was presented with something very complex and alive. Stewed and fresh cherries, plums, dried raspberries, wet leather, dried strawberries, toasted oak driven smoke, fresh tobacco leaf, a hint of milk chocolate, and assorted sweet baking spices. Still a decent amount of tannic structure that really helps elevate the wine. Long finish of cola (In a good way), limestone, saline, tobacco leaf, black pepper, and nutmeg. There’s a lasting finish of pine needle, toasted nuts, and juniper finish that coats the mouth after a glass.
Wow! This is good. The palate keeps developing with time open. It proves to me Meiomi used to be a quality wine before they sold the brand away. This has aged well and might be a bit past its prime. I personally think I would have enjoyed this more a 5 years ago with a bit more freshness in the fruits. The nose is the only reason why I am not rating this higher. -
