The CP was dark and broad with black currants, smoke, cured meat, spice and iron. It showed a bit of the 06 chunky fruit with dense and intense palate. It is still a few years away from its prime drinking window. Good wine for the vintage.

Pop and pour - tight and reserved at first, resolved tannins, texture consistent with age. The quality is undeniable. Some dark cherry tart notes but not bright.
At the 2.5-3 hour mark - WOW; leaped out of the glass with fine velvety texture and almost a dark chocolate note mixed with the terroir that is Vosne.
I’ll be chasing this bottle of wine for years.

I love 2006 red, not all but they are some of the best red wine out there when they are on form, such as this bottle. Medium vibrant ruby red. Focus and precise, doesn't has the expansiveness of CLB but equally lifted and perhaps deeper. Loaded with plum, blueberry and alluring cool spiciness and florals. Symmetry on the palate, the depth and flavours intensity is incredible yet weightless, with lots of cool fruits notes, amazing refreshing acidity, minerality and silky tannin. Another ZEN like wine. Impressive length.

Wine with a Few Smaller Meals While in Burgundy; 6/22/2015-7/5/2015 (France): Lush black cherry and berry on nose and palate with some faint red cherry on palate. Big spice box is very exciting. Starts with forward fruit that is seemingly fat and easy, but with excellent hidden, background structure that bodes well for the wine's potential longevity for a 2006.

Deep red in color, very tight at first and took over 4 hours to flex its muscles. When it does, quite a wow wine, very deep floral nose (mostly roses) coupled with loads of spices, darkervred fruit. Big and full ripe palate also showing tremendous width and depth. 30 sec + finish that is brooding. A much bigger wine than the Rouget counterpart, some might say slightly extracted but I say the Meo can be aged for much longer. Will need at least 5 more years to improve and will be amazing after, true grand cru size and quality.

A kalediscopic nose: sweet blood oranges, plum, currant, and red berries; exotic spices. This is dark, alluring, and also leaps out of the glass. Dark red and blue fruits, lithe acidity, with a long and caressing finish. Yet this is also fresh and lively, as well as powerful; poweful in the sense that there are aromatic fireworks, and mystery (is that orange peel on the nose? orange blossom?). This is shrouded in Vose spices, and is lovely now, but has the chops to age twenty years.

Top 1er Cru Burg by Benchmark Producers (Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisne @ Tanjong Pagar Center): Opened at 130pm, tried and oh, what a lovely wine right from PnP. Decided to leave the bottle as it is without putting the cork back.
Serving at around 845pm.

La Paulée de San Francisco - Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Late night, small glass, brief note. Lots and lots of brooding black fruit aromas with very rich Vosne spice. Similarly rich, powerful and backward palate. Very good potential, just not yet.

La Paulée de SF Gala Dinner (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): Wound up rather tight and not as generous as the 00/03 Meo Richebourg tasted earlier in the evening. Good density and structure.

Magnums of Meo (Vosne-Romanee - Burgundy): From magnum at the domaine. Alluring baking spice. Cherry pie. Ripe but perfect balance. A great 2006.

Burgundy Trip - Day 3 - Lunch (Chez Guy, Gevrey-Chambertin): way to young and primary right now. concentrated and complex. should develop into something special given 10 years or so.
