Wow….
Served blind, of course. So alive and complex and smooth. Just great.

Flight 3 , wine 1. Medium garnet , quite wide terracotta rim . Again quite herbaceous and funky in character , reminded me of the second wine in the first flight . On the palate there is more cool dark fruits, sous bois and earthiness , again slightly herbaceous with slightly drying tannin . Ok length and balance but a bit gawky and funky overall . Again might just have been this bottle but this wasn’t very impressive . Thought this was the Meyney 86 … wrong again .

2016 opened august 2021. Not very interesting. Black tea on the nose. Unripe black raspberries on the front. Medium tannic body with thin silky mouth feel. Lots of jangly high notes on the finish. The wispy tannins balance out the extremes of the other components, but this a mediocre wine. Yes I know it hasn’t had time to mature in the bottle, but unless aging can transmute the lead into gold, I wouldn’t bother with this vintage.

Bring the funkier (and the Brett while you're at it)! Nice wine. Fully mature.
