Les Chaumes Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a brick rim.

Light on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red fruits with earth, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, mushrooms, herbs and black pepper.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tart cranberries.

This 12 year old Pinot Noir from Burgundy is elegant and tangy.

Earthy, and better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Wine Advocate 92 points.

Starting to show some age, and doesn't feel young, but I feel it needs more time in the bottle. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

Very bright. Fresh and sappy. Powerful red fruit. Like able but a little one note for meo.

Reserved, dark cherry cola. Typical Meo, but with more reserved notes, thanks to 2014.

Exemplary 2004 out of magnum. Savory, red fruits and game.

Tasting group. Lovely dinner wine.

Thanks Jay Boberg & Jean Nicolas Meo

Beautiful texture, lovely aromatic with floral and spicy notes, a bit of austere character turning in elegance after getting some time in a carafe

Rich and elegant

Still youthful with primal fruit showing. Needs more time to fully integrate the tannins. Very enjoyable.

When in doubt, go Burgundy 💪🏻
