Blind. Toasty, lemon, lillies and a touch of herb and light ox notes. Rich and nutty flavours, medium bodied, mild acid but I like the complexity to it. Very nice. D/g 27/08/12.

Lemon, vanilla, white florals on the nose. Tangy acid and citrus kick, with some herbs through the mid palate. Precise with good flow and control. Happy with this.

D/g 9 Nov 2020, 2015 base. Strawberries, earth, smoky wood and cherry. Delightful palate, fresh and floral with plenty of energy and spark. Lovely length. Top stuff.

White florals, lime and almond with light oak on the nose. Palate has a surprising subtlety to it with a clean and mineral driven palate. Good texture and length with a little bitter twist on the finish that adds rather than detracts.

Smoky, ripe orange, plum, apple and wax. Open and attractive palate profile, fruit is punchy and delicious. Good stuff!

Tighter than the 18 Baudines - more restraint with flint, ozone and orange peel. Has depth and drive, just needs more time.

Caramel and mandarin with orange and nutty complexity. Tangy palate with plenty of bite and acidity. Drink now for this one.

2013 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Corton-Perrières

Cherry and redcurrant, rosemary and slate. Fine tannin, suave and controlled red fruits. I've found Meo-Camuzet a bit hit or miss but this was a hit.

Charcoal, coffee, meat and red cherries. Has texture and good savoury flavour. Pulls back a bit with time in the glass. Probably not living up to expectations but still a good glass of wine.

Blackcurrant, olives, cherry and meaty notes. Plenty of structure here, with the red and black fruit quite punchy but kept in control with the tannin and acid. Feels like a long life ahead.

Tropical nose with orange, pineapple, mango along with musk, slate and smoke. Acid sweeps through amplifying the fruit and keeps it fresh along the rich, ripe fruit profile. Long and delicious.
