Tasting notes
Medium ruby colored, this wine has a deep and sweet nose of red and black cherries. What follows is a lively, creamy-textured, medium-bodied, and plump personality. This well-balanced and juicy wine displays refined flavors of jammy blueberries, cherries, and hints of gravel. Its long and supple finish reveals beautifully ripened tannins. Projected maturity: 2001-2006. The village appellation offerings from Vosne and Nuits have the lowest pHs (3.35) of Meo's wines (the rest are between 3.45 and 3.5).

Excellent ruby-tinged red. Very primary aromas of cassis and violet; definitely the Vosne side of Nuits. Rather purple, intensely fruity flavors similar to the aromas. Very fragrant in the mouth. Bright acidity extends the finish. Showing much better than the '95 did a year ago.
