A spectacular showing from Méo's most underrated wine. Plenty of umami here with a silk texture, breadth, depth, and almost (not quite) crystallinity, but great precision nonetheless. Intense and plenty of freshness, Cellared since original release.

Elegant and refined, soft fruit with a long and light finish. Reference standard Corton, this is drinking so well now and should remain fresh and balanced for at least a couple of years, perhaps a lot more. I have been privileged to taste this wine many times, and except one corked bottle it has been very consistent.

In a lovely phase of development, retaining fruit and body, with soft tannins and enticing sous bois. Will hold here for sometime, so no rush, but I doubt it will get much better. Drink over the next 3-5 years.

Opened and the first few hours was really tight and unyielding. Only started to open up more than 24 hours later after taking out of cellar and allowed to warm up a little. Dark cherries with hints of cedar, cassis. Probably could keep for another 5-6 years and get better.

Very impressive showing. Such pristine fruit, and sexy enticing aromas of exotic spice. An opulent wine in a perfect state of evolution.
