Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Vosne Aux Brulees 2004

The 2004 Vosne Romanee Aux Brulees from Meo-Camuzet is a big wine for the vintage. In the bouquet still quite undeveloped with quite a lot of oak present, but also layers of ripe and rich pinot fruit – notes of lush red fruits, gooseberries, coffee and asian spices. On the palate layers of lovely pinot fruit, a very good midpalate concentration and a long powerful finish … with quite some oaky tannins. For a 2004 the juicy, dense and lovely fruit is quite amazing in this wine – but the oak seems slightly excessive for my palate. Anyhow the fruit is quite abundant, so perhaps the oak will be absorbed after five to ten years more in the cellar. A fine or perhaps even very fine effort.
