92+ JG. "In most vintage chez Méo, I have a preference for the Cras over the Feusselottes in the cellars here, but not in 2013, as this wine has really turned out beautifully. The excellent aromatic constellation delivers a superb blend of red and black cherries, very complex soil tones, a touch of pomegranate, gamebirds, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very soil-driven, with a lovely core of pure fruit, excellent focus and bounce and a very long, suavely-tannic finish. I love the shape and transparency to this wine in 2013, which can often start off life a bit broad-shouldered in the Méo cellars, but this year it just exudes elegance and purity right out of the blocks."
