Clos Vougeot theme dinner, still quite dark, lots ripe red fruits, medium bodied & drinking well, dusty tannins, just in its window, could do with bit more focus but well made

A bit of a brusiser in that it is extracted with a meaty dark red dense earthy appeal, nearly still all about the lovely fruit, which is ripe, sweet, and broad. Any sense of site, nuance, or spice is difficult to discern, yet clearly this is well made. Reminds of a top flight Oregon pinot. Now over 15 years old and yet still somewhat primary. Good and more than enjoyable, but perhaps lacking elegance at this stage. Shows the tells of a ripe vintage. No hurry to drink, but hard to predict where this is headed.
Mellow earthy red fruit with a dark smoky character. I also got a hint of oak and structure altho that is starting to resolve. There is a streak of acidity that sticks out on the palate leading me to guess 2006 Gev

Very much accessible. Mix of black and ripe red fruits. Red plum, dried cherries & blackberry. Very floral - red and purple flowers, dried but intense. Sweet oak spices, now well integrated. Bramble. Plenty of tertiary elements on display - subtle leathery character, savory, forest mushroom, toasted pepper. A lot of dusty, resolved tannin - very textural wine. Sufficient amount of acidity to hold the show together and propel the finish.
Would love to see a bit more delineation and focus, but that seems to be 2006 in general. Ready to play - can’t see much upside to continued cellaring.

Denne begynner å komme i drikkevinduet nå. Pen dybde, med parfymert mørk frukt. Lysner med luft, og blir rett så lekker. Blomster, trevirke, krydder og bær. Selv om det er på den mørke og litt tøffe siden, synes jeg dette holder seg på den elegante delen. Konsentrert frukt med fin friskhet. Pen modning her nå, og drikker bra. Noe røff i stilen, men skikkelig deilig. Holder sin power uten å duppe. Meget lang finish med noe grove tanniner. Flott vin som er i gang med livet.

A powerful clos vougeot with spice, herbs, game and flower. Very meo in style where more than half of the group guessed it was a Meo in our blind tasting. The wine was fully integrated with powdery tannins, violets and high tone minerality. Love this vintage of Meo’s clos vougeot. Drinking beautifully.

This bottle is more backward than the last one. Spice, herbs, oak and wild berries on the nose. Palate has some sweet dark fruit with nice minerality and acidity. The oak is a bit prominent at this stage. Hopefully time will help.

Purple fruit, citrus, flower and spice. Palate is so expressive and balanced with precise fruit. The wine is transperent and elegant. An exceptional clos vougeot. 92-93

PRANZO DA VINOGODI: Etereo, scuro, mascolino e mentolato. Tannino, austerità e mineralità da grande nebbiolo old-style. Pulitissimo, di fattura nobiliare e persistenza vibrante. Molto simile al profilo del Mazis di Dugat-Py, con meno profumi e profondità.

Light spice, black raspberry, and a faint shadow of the wood on the nose. Smooth tannins and a light sweetness and vanilla complement those elements on the palate. Unobjectionable but undistinguished. Unprepared to stand up to a foie gras and black truffle dish.

At Jade Palace for a "Top 10 Burg producer" theme. Lovely bright red, very alluring and vibrant. Elegant and floral bouquet of violets, freshly cut roses and wild strawberries. On the palate, there was a lovely balance of acidity and fruits like wild blueberries, fresh strawberries, sweet cherries with a hint of caramel and toffee at the back palate. A lovely characteristic of Meo is that the wines can be approached at a very early stage in its life but also can product a repertoire of flavours after age. A really brilliantly made Vougeot, from a maker who has arguably the best location.

Clos Vougeot Masterclass, with James Handford MW (Handford Wines, London): High expectations here and although it outperformed its peers still not of the level its price tag dictates. At the start it was shut on the nose, very restrained. It developed well in the glass but never hit a high point. Very young at this stage. Still felt in perfect harmony and balance, good extraction here, powerful wine and with a herbaceous side. The new oak is definitely not evident. 92 and second favourite for the evening.

Drank over two hours. Pretty tight on the nose and palate. Dark fruit, spice, wood and some floral notes on the nose. Palate matched with a big core of dark fruit that just needs to unwind. Very ripe and full in the mouth. Medium plus finish with nice tannin. This will be much better in a few years.

Meo Camuzet Clos Vougeot Vertical (Sun Wah): Great ripe fruit on the nose and palate with lots of structure surrounding the fruit. Plenty of floral charm on nose as well. Also really good spice on both nose and palate. Still a fair amount of oak that needs to be resolved, this wine really has some exciting potential for years to come. Even better next day - this is a great wine to have in the cellar.

There’s a little vitamin B on the nose at first but then sweet, intense black cherry and Satsuma plum fruits come to the fore. This is a dense, sweet and creamy Vougeot that has an exotic spiciness and plenty of depth and muscle. A really lovely proposition today but enormous amounts in reserve on which to further develop.

Meo-Camuzet dinner with Jean-Nicolas Méo (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL): Slightly floral start with lots of ripe black cherry and plum aromas, accompanied by lots of Vosne styled spice and plenty of new oak. Similar on palate, perhaps slightly less dark fruit, with an emphasis on good cherry flavors. This needs plenty of time in the cellar and should really shine with a bit more integration as if softens, perhaps after 2018.

Astoundingly accessible, none of the hard/shut down/tannic elements of many 06. Vosne spice and silky tannin. Meo freakin nailed the vintage! Mmmmmm.
Interesting that this shut down after about 90 minutes. Odd as it sounds this is currently a pop and pour. Don’t decant.

Pernot / Méo-Camuzet Dinner with Jeanne Marie de Champs (RPM Steak - Chicago IL): Popped and poured. Floral and spice-driven start with plenty of red cherry. Enjoyable to start, this picked up weight and density with more air, getting more powerful and longer as the night went on.

Friday after Thanksgiving (FAT) - Part 1 - Burgundy 2006 (Palm Beach Gardens FL): Small taste, brief note. On the ripe side vs many other, lots of fleshy fruit, baking spice. At first I still found hints of new oak, but that dissipated when re-tasted the 2nd day. Consistent with prior bottles tasted.

Great. More complex than the other wines of Burgundy drunk at dinner. However, divided opinion. Can be drunk now and wait a few more years.

La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Colicchio & Sons - New York NY): Tasting, brief note. Good floral and spice start with fat black fruit and a hint of liqueur. Everything has integrated nicely here, this is starting to drink nicely.

Méo Camuzet Clos de Vougeot Vertical 3-20-14 (Chez Jean-Nicolas Méo, Vosne Romanée): A slightly browning nose, but what an unbelievable palate! Cherry jam, this showed best today. And this is a surprise given my general disappointment with the 06 vintage; but hey, in good hands, a ripe vintage can be stunning

Ramt lige på det rette øjeblik. Silkebløde tanniner, og lag på lag af mørkebær og begyndende tertiære aromaer. Bedste CdV so far.

Bigtime licorice. Full bodied - long finish. Cherries. A bit young - 5+ years would help it come into balance.
