Clos de Vougeot 1995

The 1995 Clos de Vougeot by Méo-Camuzet is a pure expression of Pinot Noir from Burgundy, and after 31 years, it's really showing its depth. This bottle is all about capturing the essence of those rich Burgundian soils, you know?

This wine makes an appearance in Volume 13 of the manga "The Drops of God," where it was introduced by Issei Tomine during a lecture. He described it as having the powerful voice of a diva resonating through the fertile earth, which gives you an idea of its strong character.

When you tilt the glass, you see this deep garnet hue with an orange rim, showing its age. As you bring it to your nose, there's this rush of ripe blackberries, dried plums, and violets, with hints of black tea and dried herbs lurking in the background. Just the aroma is captivating on its own.

Taking a sip, you get this rich fruitiness upfront, balanced by lively acidity. The tannins are dense, providing a solid structure that complements the long, complex finish. You should definitely try it and savor its depth.
