Leafy character on the opening, but it settles into itself and the mid palate fills out with cocoa bean and fleshy cherry pit, fresh acidities, uplift on the finish. 89 points

The 2024 Meyney is another big step in the right direction for this re-emerging Saint-Estephe estate. In 2024, Meyney is refined yet still very deep, without the heaviness that was once typical here. It will be interesting to see in future years how much of that is the new style here and how much is the vintage. Either way, the 2024 Meyney is a standout. 92-94 points

The 2024 Meyney has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and light cassis notes, but I just seek a little more delineation and nuance. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and saline with sappy black fruit, finely knit tannins and a cohesive finish. I like the length of this Meyney and, given its reasonable price, it should be worth seeking out once released. 90-92 points
