I haven’t tasted this for a couple of years and it has rounded out nicely. This is a medium bodied wine with darkish red fruit, Asian spice and sous bois notes. While the mouthfeel is on the softish side, the tannins are still abit firm. While delightful and quite delicious, I was hoping for abit more depth and complexity.

Initially very shy on the nose but expressive and complete on the palate. After an hour or so, this has opening up. Cinnamon, fresh spices, plums, strawberry, savoury, smoked meat, nicely expressive and complex, getting more and more engaging. Savoury on the palate , poised and refined. Love the salivating acidity that giving the life and freshness. Nice length and limbering, with considerable hidden power.

While quite nice, I was looking for more. It took 3-4 hours to open , then was lacking just abit in its depth and complexity for its level and price point. I think this still needs a few more years to flesh out.

Meo's 2008 Echezeaux Rouges du Bas is a wine of quiet elegance with a perfumed nose of dark cherry, five spice, and sandalwood. Medium bodied with bright acidity and ripe & resolving tannins supporting pure black cherry flavors. I don't see this turning into a knockout wine rather I expect a decade+ of fine drinking.

Kept in cellar for 8 years. PnP. Lean and sour. Likely cooked.
