Clos de Vougeot 2003 Meo Camuzet

A fruit bomb, this is packed with cassis, plum, violet and mineral notes with freshness and extremely fine tannins. It builds and builds on the palate with intensity and vibrance. Fine length. It's not your typical Clos de Vougeot, but you can't deny its appeal.

The 2003 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru now sports a thin brick rim, yet the nose is remarkably fresh considering the heat of the growing season: vivid red cherries, raspberry preserve, leather and minerals. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, perhaps the warmth of that season rendering the tannins a little tough and leathery. Touches of black truffle and smoke develop towards the confit-like finish where I find it just lacks a soupçon of freshness. But overall, this is much better than I expected.

This is even fresher still if not as complex with an elegant nose of red fruit, earth, plum and leather that complement ripe, sappy and intense mouth coating flavors that seem to be the distilled essence of cassis. The underlying tannins are ripe, quite firm and almost completely buried and this finishes with a subtle hint of mocha and coffee.
