It’s not often that I describe a wine as sensual, but these two bottles of Meo-Camuzet certainly fit the bill. Had these last night with an old friend who first introduced me to fine wine. The occasion: baby #2 is coming soon and I’ll probably be unable to attend upcoming wine nights. Hence the title.
Nuits-Saint-Georges 2018
Initially muted on the nose but eventually showed sweet oak, caramel and soy sauce/hoisin. Some sweetness on the attack. Dried figs, dark cherries and blackberries, with pleasant notes of undergrowth and mushroom. Quite advanced for 2018 and reflected the warm vintage. This took about 1.5 hours to come together but when it did, it sang. 94 points
Morey-Saint-Denis 2019
Sweet oak, violets, brambly fruit on the nose. On the palate sour cherries, strawberries, cranberries. Vibrant, zippy acidity with a spicy finish. Exuberant, youthful and beautifully balanced. Oak seamlessly integrated with fruit. Faded a little as the night went on, but so delightful while it lasted. 94 points

ooo, I don’t drink a lot of Burgundy, but I had MSD 2019 in April in Beaune.
Nose: blackberry, plum, dry earth, potting soil, dry forest floor
Palate: blackberry, little blueberry (showing a lot different than yours there); finish of tree bark, cedar, very light baking spice, mineral; medium body; medium to medium+ juicy acidity; medium silky tannin
89 to 90 points for me
I’d love to try some of their estate wine.
