Mike D's Article: Hospices de Beaune 2000 Meo Camuzet Volnay-Santenots

I had the pleasure of tasting this wine again (see my previous blog on 2000 Burgs) at a lovely spring feast at home with good friends and the best in springtime produce. Special for Mother’s Day: A bouquet in a glass. Light and transparent in color, yet complex like only Burgundy can be. With a super long finish, not unlike The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” But seriously, this wine has a gaminess on the nose that could fool any blind taster into thinking Rhone, with pronounced anise notes on the back palate. Though this sounds like bullshit, this wine is a bit beyond the beyond, and is delicious! Loved it. 96 points! Find the wine.
