Wine by Bok - 9.25/10 stars
Produced by the renowned Cordier family (also behind Gruaud Larose and Talbot), the 1982 Chateau Meyney is a testament to its legendary vintage. On multiple occasions, it has outshone other Bordeaux as the undisputed "Wine of the Night."
The bouquet is a classic expression of aged Bordeaux: rustic, with hints of cigar box, leather, and dark fruits. The palate is remarkably balanced, smooth, and elegant, showing no signs of decline despite its 43 years of age. This wine embodies the Saint-Estèphe style—structured, refined, and endlessly drinkable.
You don’t need to reach for a first or second growth to experience Bordeaux at its best. This 1982 Meyney is an exceptional buy at $320, making it the perfect centerpiece for your Chinese New Year celebrations or any special occasion. (01/25)
Wine Advocate - 92 Points
Drunk from magnum, the 1982 Meyney is showing very well, bursting with
aromas of sweet red berries and plums mingled with notions of truffle,
loamy soil and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy,
it's a broad, textural wine with good concentration and a long, lusty
finish. (12/2022)
