1998 Meo Camuzet Vosne Romanee 1er Aux Brulees

This is now almost completely mature though there is good freshness to the breezy aromas of spice, lavender and warm earth scents. I very much like the silky mid-palate mouth feel of the detailed and attractively energetic middle weight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality that continues onto the complex and lingering finish. The balance isn't quite perfect as there is a very mild hint of astringency though the right foods would very like render this aspect all but invisible. That said, I would be inclined to drink this classy effort sooner than later as it risks drying out if held for too long. Burghound 91
