Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Monday, July 26, 2021 - With K&O for an impromptu get together. This followed a 2006 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Vosne-Romanée "Chaumes". Splash decant, drank over about 45 minutes.

Medium garnet color, opaque, no notable separation. Nose showing dark fruits, currant, pine, cedar. Palate is a lush and still youthful, on this evening I picked up dark cherry, plum, black currants, cassis, cocoa. Secondary notes of earth, truffle and dark fruits. Medium/full body, long finish

Classic Bdx profile, bigger in style consistent with the warm vintage (may be a love it/hate it result). I thought it was great on this showing, I would like to have spent more time with it. Still youthful and showing great depth - another 10+ years maybe? Only one bottle left...
