Tasting notes
Bright, deep red. Knockout nose combines dark raspberry, caraway seed, truffle and smoky underbrush. Dense and lush on entry, then amazingly fresh and energetic, boasting great retention of primary fruit character. In fact, the intense red berry, truffle and floral flavors show a slightly medicinal reserve today. Finishes with suave tannins and palate-staining fruits and flowers. I should note that our first two samples of this wine were corked, but this one was a stunner.

The Vosne-Romanee-Les Chaumes does not possess nearly the stuffing or exotic character of the Vosne-Romanee-Les Brulees. The latter wine exhibits a huge, roasted, smoky, black-cherry and raspberry-scented nose, luscious, full-bodied, opulent flavors, and loads of alcohol, glycerin, and soft tannins in the long, lusty finish. It can be drunk now and promises to last for at least a decade. These are the finest wines the Domaine Meo-Camuzet has yet produced. I am also delighted to say that in addition to practicing a severe crop thinning in 1990, the domaine bottled their wines naturally with no filtration. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA.
