Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 11, 2021 - Nose is floral and spicy. Showy but also a little roasted / tomato fruit character. I expected a more youthful, punchy, stemmy, and black cherry / oaky showing from ‘99. A little surprised and disappointed by how seemingly muddled this showed, although short of stewed. Great looking bottle, not sure what the issue was here, should’ve been fresher, brighter, more powerful in my opinion. Very good with plenty of redeeming and enjoyable characteristics, and still had some DRC style, but I’d say a maybe a bit of a letdown given the stellar vintage and how much I like Grands Echezeaux. Has lovely detailed black teas and spices that I associate with the darker and cloudy style at Meo Camuzet.
