1955 Meyney

The 1955 Meyney came in bottle format as well. This was showing a little more bricking on the rim and exhibits lighter fruit than the ’24 or ’29, hints of tomato vine infusing the light red fruit. The palate is framed by light, slightly rigid tannins, bitter red cherries and graphite, then a finish that attenuates a little. I am an ardent fan of the 1955 vintage though juxtaposed against older vintages, I preferred the pair of Meyney wines hailing from the twenties.
