The 1982 Château Meyney is a Bordeaux wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation, a region known for its rich, tannic, and structured wines. The 1982 vintage is particularly renowned for its excellent quality, with wines that have aged beautifully over the decades.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: The wine has a deep, dark garnet hue, showing some signs of maturity with a brick-red rim.
- Aroma: The bouquet is rich and complex, offering aromas of stewed cherries, cassis, and dark fruits, evolving into earthy and savory tertiary notes. There are hints of cedar, coffee, mint, and truffle, indicative of its aging process.
- Palate: On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins. The fruit profile has softened but still provides flavors of blackberries, blackcurrant, and plum, combined with earthy, leathery, and spicy flavors. The finish is long and savory, with lingering notes of tobacco, coffee, and subtle spice
Aging Potential:
The wine is nearing the end of its prime drinking window, so it's best enjoyed now or within the next few years to experience its full complexity before the fruit fades further.
For food pairings, it works well with hearty dishes like beef, venison, or roast lamb, as well as aged cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère.
