Stylistically traditional and one can almost taste the stems and the tannins. Very extracted and gave lot of umph suspect the sorting and selection played a big part in it at the expense of yield.
Violets on the nose less of the primary on palate with more depth and Asian spices. Structurally intact and would lay this to sleep for 5-10years more.

Meo Camuzet Dinner (ST Home): Initially had a touch of heat on the nose and palate suggesting a very mild maderization to the wine - either my senses betrayed me or this blew off over some time. Very fine and put together. Levity and elegance seem to define the younger Meo wines of the evening. Not overbearing and drinking well now.

The 2011 Meo Camuzet Echezeaux is still ungiving at this stage despite most 2011 are approachable already, this needs another couple of years to mellow out the wood spices and structure. Fresh dark berries, rich oak spices with fine grained tannins. Austere tannins that reminds me of 2011? Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru? (89-90/100)

The nose showed rich dark fruits, savory herbs, charred meat and hints of crushed stone. On the palate, it was leaner than expected with herbal blackberry and minerals. It finished angular on dried florals and fruit, with hints of tannin coating the senses.

Very special evening tonight. 12 bottles of Echézeaux – 2011 where enjoyed, semi – blind, by a small group of Bourgogne lovers. Short notes on each wine. Meo – Camuzet, Lieux – dits: 100% Les rouges du Bas. Nose: Animalistic & meaty, nice funkiness, sweet strawberries & cherries, floral perfume emerges, some herbs and minerals. Palate: Tart red berries, rather firm, good length and high acidity. (92 – 94)

Domaines et Saveurs Burgundy Tasting (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL): Tasting, brief note. Floral, sweet and savory spice, plenty of red fruit. No mistaking the oak, but that will integrate as the wine softens over the next few years. Very weighty while graceful. Give this to 2020 or later, and I think it will be a real charmer for the next few decades.

Fine Vines Fall 2015 Portfolio Tasting (City Winery - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. red cherry and berry. Some elegance is starting to emerge, but this is still firm and backward at its conclusion. I like where this is evolving, but that evolution will take time.

At a retailer tasting. Seriously good with so much going on. Notes of fresh cream, wet earth, black pepper and black fruit. Rich finish. Be patient. 93-95 points.

Knightsbridge Annual Holiday Burgundy/Champagne Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. In contrast with the very accessible D Mugneret '11 Echezeaux just tasted, this Meo is dense, dark and brooding. Very good concentration and spice bodes well for this wine, which shows none of the jagged edges many other 2011s are showing.

Knightsbridge 2011 Burgundy Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. Very fresh, bright aromatic start with red and black berries, floral notes and sweet baking spice. Palate start with similar flavor profile, perhaps a little darker, then becomes very firm and auster middle to finish. No bitter or green elements here, just very tannic. This will require a decade in the cellar.

France 2013 - Côte d'Or; 4/20/2013-4/23/2013 (Beaune): Tasted at the Domaine. From half bottle. Quite a bit of oak/sulphur showing here with spicy notes and red fruits. Lively plate with great acidity. This is open right now and really, really nice. Great depth and precision and tension. Best wine yet with 92-95pt potential. Give this 10-15 years. Excellent. 91+

Massor av rosor och violer, mogen men lite syrlig frukt, läder och lakrits. Fin balans och fin längd
