Château Meyney, St-Estèphe, Bordeaux, France, 2012

Dense colour, concentrated cassis nose, all the meaty richness from these well-placed vineyards and a good future.

Few, if any, non-classed growths have a better terroir or track record in recent vintages. Fragrant fruit, well balanced with a full, rounded flavour. Just right to drink now after 10 years.
