It’s just under the 2 hour mark in the decanter when it absolutely takes off. Reduction moves aside and intense aromas of dark fruit, rose petals and exotic spices soar from the glass. There is great depth and concentration, nothing lean about this wine from the vintage. It has such energy and drive on the palate, asserting all of its complex flavors before a seamless transition to its lifted, lengthy and mineral driven finish. Very approachable in its early stages with sufficient air. I love Meo’s wines in what are considered leaner and more “elegant/lighter” vintages. I think it balances and accentuates their style beautifully.

Young but showing effortless grace and class. A true vin de garde
