Nose: Dried rose, game, cherry, black forest cake, pepper, raspberry, soap, spices Notes: We've anticipated that this 1er Cur will be stubborn so we prepared this in advance, we started drinking after breathing for 4 hours and drank gradually over 3 hours, a total of 7 hours of breathing for the last pour. This wine showed an expressive nose of dark fruits initially and had a rather signature Meo Camuzet nose featuring raspberries throughout the night. While the wine feels like it can probably age a few years more before being consumed I somehow would like to draw a conclusion that Meo from 2006 is either not entirely ready or is a little underwhelming in terms of balance and overall profile. I suppose one can try 3-4 years or cellaring and resample again. Consistent to the kind of profile I tasted in the 2006 Meo Camuzet Echezeaux 2 months ago, I can't say I'm too impressed with the vintage. Please note that this could be a personal thing of mine as I was never a huge fan of the Domaine and rarely find their wines very impressive. Drink: 2026+ Rating: 90

Joe’s Farewell Victory Tour Tasting: generously shared by Xavier94, this was big and rich and way too young but showing huge potential. Very concentrated with dark cherry and violets; a bit of a brooding beast. 93+

This was fun to check into, albeit young, though you have to admire the exotic floral scents of lilac and violet with raspberry coulis fruits with a strong picture-perfect Vosne-styled Asian spice, sandalwood and sesame seed character. the palate is soft, rounded and spicy with a baking spice character that really "pops" on the midpalate and shows an almost Grand Cru intensity and resolve. This has incredible upside potential, though I would tell anyone to hold their bottles (if you can) for easily another 10 years +. This is exuberant and refined at the same time even today. 93-94.

Just a touch sour on the finish.
