30 minutes of air. Not nearly as tight as an earlier bottle. Rich mix of strawberry, peat, a little gamey zing to the nose. Lots of very fine tannins and good acidity giving this a nice balanced vibrancy. Continued to deepen over the course of an evening. Score: 94. Relative to expectations: ++

Excellent bottle! Not a monster, probably still too young. Tiptoeing in the glass over time, reticent to speak, but graceful, with delicate, evolving aromatics, enticing flavors, and that unmistakable Meo signature!

A conservative rating for what is still a very young wine. Big gritty tannins mask a nice amount of fruit. Lots of raspberry, strong minerality - you can practically taste the grit - this wine is still in its shell and will eventually merit a higher score. Right now, quite tart and full of thistle. A surprisingly strong effort, but patience required. Score: 90. Relative to expectations: ++
