Meo Camuzet 1996 Vosne-Romanée au Cros Parantoux

The Meo Camuzet 1996 Vosne-Romanée au Cros Parantoux is a wine of remarkable opulence and structure. Its color is a deep ruby red, hinting at the richness of flavor it possesses. On the nose, it presents a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, including cherries, raspberries, and strawberries, intertwined with notes of spices, earth, and a subtle hint of floral aromas. The palate is equally impressive, with a luxurious texture and a firm yet velvety mouthfeel. Flavors of dark berries, plums, and hints of licorice and cedar unfold gracefully, supported by well-integrated tannins and a vibrant acidity that adds brightness and energy to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving behind a sense of satisfaction and a desire for another sip. This wine is a true expression of the unique terroir of Vosne-Romanée au Cros Parantoux and the meticulous craftsmanship of Meo Camuzet.

Antonio Galloni - 91+ Points

"More reticent but bright nose currently dominated by spicy oak. Sweet and juicy in the mouth, but very closed. Seems atypically difficult to taste. "Yes, it's a very tight wine in '96," says Meo, "but it's showing better now than before the racking." Tough but very long; built rather like a Richebourg."
