This always represents good value. Spicy, stony and floral at the same time with deep blue fruit and hints of pine, incense and cloves. Veins of tannins show a mineral verve. This is firm, powerful and long. A bit too young at this stage but already showing potential. A very good vintage. Drink after 2028. ~95 James Suckling
Mature and satisfying, it shows a solid profile with a fat and voluminous nature. Notes of black cherries, red plums and black plums describe the main scene. Lots of black tea leaves the secondary one. Full body, perfectly ripe tannins and a balanced and essential finish. Better from 2027. ~95 WinesCritic.com
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. ~94+ Jeb Dunnuck
Dense blackberry fruits go along with the rich tannins. The spicy wood flavors are a layer under the fine fruits. It has a future of ripe tannins and black fruits. ~94 Wine Enthusiast
Deep ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, brightening on the rim. Black forest berries, blackberries and liquorice, tobacco spice, some nougat. Full-bodied, round and complex, dark nougat, supporting tannins, good length, chocolatey mineral finish. ~93 Falstaff
Well balanced ripe red fruits, creamy without being overly exuberant, tomato leaf and rosebud interwoven with damson and red cherry fruits, good stuff, one to share. ~93 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
The 2022 Meyney has turned out very well, offering up aromas of crème de cassis, bay leaf and pencil shavings, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy palate that's rich and seamless, exhibiting an integration of tannin that can't always be taken for granted at this address. In fact, this appears to be the best Meyney produced for quite some time, and it's well worth seeking out. ~93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Meyney has an intense, finely delineated bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, loam and light briny scents that unfold with confidence. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and vibrant, with firm tannins. It is not dissimilar to the Lilian Ladouys in style, though there is a touch more finesse and pepperiness on the finish. It has good potential, but needs time. ~92 Vinous Media
