  September 20, 2020 - This was the fifth bottle from a mixed lot of 1972 Alexis Lichine Clos Vougeot 375s. The first 4 were Meo, 2 were wonderful, 1 was corked, and one was madeirized.
  
  This is the Pierre Engel bottling and it's quite different. Very pale color. Beautiful , captivating nose of underbrush and cherry. On opening palate is long and round on the entry but quite tart on the long finish. With air the tannins of the vintage show up in spades along with strong cherry notes. It's really demanding food at this point and a T Bone steak is an excellent match.
  
  So great nose, good but given the performance of the Meo wines a bit disappointing on the palate.
