Vinous - Neal Martin (95)
The 2019 Meyney has a divine bouquet, so pure and winsome with floral red berry scents, beautifully integrated new oak and superb precision. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy to the point where you can almost overlook the backbone of this Saint-Estèphe. It could have been blowsy, yet it retains superb balance and feels luxuriant and long on the finish. This is a stellar showing easily eclipsing its performances either in barrel or just after bottling. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.Inc. VAT£360.24 -

While I wasn't able to taste the 2022 Château Meyney En Primeur, it's a beauty now from bottle. Needing air to show at its best, this deep purple-hued Saint-Estèphe has a ripe, powerful nose of darker currants, chocolate, smoked tobacco, and cedar pencils. This carries to a full-bodied Meyney that has a broad, layered mouthfeel, ripe, velvety tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. It's accessible even today with a decant, but it's going to take a decade to hit maturity and will age gracefully on its concentration and depth.Inc. VAT£426.70 -

(12x75cl) 2023Jeb Dunnuck (94)
Always a classic Saint-Estèphe (and I think the quality here has stepped up a notch recently), the 2023 Château Meyney comes from a mix of gravelly and clay soils and is based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 12% Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in French oak barrels. It sports a deep purple hue as well as beautiful cassis, graphite, smoky tobacco, and crushed stone-like minerality. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, focused, layered mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and is going to evolve nicely over the coming 25-30 years if well stored. Drink 2029-2053.Inc. VAT£323.21 -

(6x75cl) 2012Vinous (97)
The 2012 Merlot Filip is deep, fleshy and seductive, all qualities that will make it virtually hard to resist in its youth. Plum, raspberry jam and pomegranate are pushed forward. The silky, plush tannins so often found in the Filip add to the wine's voluptuous, generous personality. Subtle and yet also remarkably deep, the 2012 has so much going on. In 2012, both Merlots are stunning. The Filip is more gracious, while the Buri offers more power and overall structure.Inc. VAT£1,960.40 -
(6x75cl) 2022Imbued with the profound character of Italy's Friuli region, the Miani Friulano 2022 is a captivating experience for true wine aficionados. This premium white wine is meticulously crafted by Enzo Pontoni, whose rigorous approach to viticulture is renowned. Pontoni, a meticulous perfectionist, tends to each vine personally, leading to superior grapes.
The Miani Friulano 2022 is distinguished by its complex aromatic profile, depth of flavour, and remarkable longevity.

The 2019 Meyney has a divine bouquet, so pure and winsome with floral red berry scents, beautifully integrated new oak and superb precision.

Cask sample. Excellent depth of flavour and ripeness. Sappy with no skinniness. Really no sign that this was a difficult vintage. Complete. Fresh with ripe tannins dominated by vibrant, ripe fruit. It even has some impressive persistence. It’s not super-ripe but is certainly ripe enough.In Bond£123.50 -

While I wasn't able to taste the 2022 Château Meyney En Primeur, it's a beauty now from bottle. Needing air to show at its best, this deep purple-hued Saint-Estèphe has a ripe, powerful nose of darker currants, chocolate, smoked tobacco, and cedar pencils. This carries to a full-bodied Meyney that has a broad, layered mouthfeel, ripe, velvety tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. It's accessible even today with a decant, but it's going to take a decade to hit maturity and will age gracefully on its concentration and depth.In Bond£317.00 -

Always a classic Saint-Estèphe (and I think the quality here has stepped up a notch recently), the 2023 Château Meyney comes from a mix of gravelly and clay soils and is based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 12% Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in French oak barrels. It sports a deep purple hue as well as beautiful cassis, graphite, smoky tobacco, and crushed stone-like minerality. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, focused, layered mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and is going to evolve nicely over the coming 25-30 years if well stored. Drink 2029-2053.In Bond£228.00 -

The 2012 Merlot Filip is deep, fleshy and seductive, all qualities that will make it virtually hard to resist in its youth. Plum, raspberry jam and pomegranate are pushed forward. The silky, plush tannins so often found in the Filip add to the wine's voluptuous, generous personality. Subtle and yet also remarkably deep, the 2012 has so much going on. In 2012, both Merlots are stunning. The Filip is more gracious, while the Buri offers more power and overall structure.In Bond£1,613.00 -
