Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 6, 2020 - Deep red/violet and clear in the glass with a very dark core. Stunning nose that is open and aromatic with violets, black fruit, and campfire. Same notes on palate with anise. Polished, full, and silky on the mid palate. Long expansive black fruit/anise finish. (Conservatively 93).
Reluctantly, I add my two cents into the argument about this wine tasting as if it came from Napa. To me, this wine exhibits excellent St.Estephe typicity. In fact, a couple of weeks ago I drank a 750 of 14 Montrose. This Meyney is very similar, perhaps a little less power, depth, and complexity. A half step behind the Montrose at a quarter of the price...….
I was lucky (smart?) and jumped on this wine early. Two cases bought as futures at less than $30/750. If I were to rate this wine as a sub $30 ordinary occasion drink, it would be close to 100pts. Really very difficult to find a wine of this very high quality at the price I paid. Wish I had bought even more...….
