2018 Château Meyney

Initially very green, but it settled into its own after about 90 minutes in the decanter. It had aromas of blueberries, oak, fig, and plum. The powerful tannins were surprisingly approachable at this age. Another 5-8 years will do this wine well, but it's still a fun, enjoyable, and affordable bottle in its current state.

1989 Château Meyney

This was my second time with this wine, and this bottle seemed to be in much better shape! There was a slight off-putting funk after removing the cork, but it quickly faded and was replaced by sweet strawberries, leather, and cassis. The fruit was soft and fading, indicating it was past its prime but still showing life. This bottle performed much better than the first one I had.

1981 Château Meyney

A last-minute auction purchase because the price was right! I knew it was a gamble and didn't expect much, but it exceeded all my expectations. It wasn't a showstopper, but it was extremely enjoyable. The nose had earthy notes, a slight barnyard funk, leather, and pencil shavings. On the palate, it was soft, sweet, delicate, and still had lively tannins. I don't expect this wine to improve any further and it was probably better 10 years ago. Nonetheless, it was a treat to open a bottle this old—almost twice my age!
