Wine Advocate-Parker :
What has happened to this estate? One of the great overachievers of the seventies and eighties (the 1975, 1982, and 1986 are superb), Meyney seems to have hit hard times. The 2000 reveals a lack of concentration, and astringent, hard tannins, in addition to tobacco-infused sweet berry, earthy fruit in the aromas and flavors. A pinched, compressed finish is likely to dry out. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014.
