Succulent tannins that are smooth

A great Cheval Blanc that stands up to the potential that I found during en primeur

Bravo to Pierre-Olivier Clouet and his team

but not at the top

pastry-like texture comes to the fore on the finish

Chateau Meyney, Saint-Estephe, France 2020 Case (6x750ml) Chilis and Hot Spicy Foods Succulent tannins that are smoothThe 2020 Chateau Meyney is a solid step up, with more elegance and finesse, as well as structure. Giving up medium bodied aromas and flavors of darker currants, black cherries, classy oak, tobacco leaf, and damp earth, it has terrific overall balance, building, fine grained tannins, and a great finish. It has some accessibility today yet will benefit from 3 5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
