Meyney 1986 is a red Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Estèphe appellation. This estate sits on a primary vein of blue clay, similar to the soil profile of Pétrus, which provides a cooling influence and structural power to the Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1985 and 1986 vintages represent a classic era for the property, where traditional fermentation in concrete vats preceded long maturation in oak. This bottle has developed into a complex, savoury expression of the gravelly terroir, offering a resolved tannic structure and a persistent finish of cedar, tobacco, graphite and blackcurrant.
