Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre 2006 Cote de Beaune Burgundy 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Allen Meadows: There wasn't a uniformity of consensus about this
wine. I found a subtle note of oxidation on the otherwise slightly
exotic and overtly ripe nose of orchard fruit, especially peach and
apricot, that combines with roasted hazelnut notes. The rich, full
and admirably concentrated medium-bodied flavors are opulent and
lush yet possess plenty of punch and verve on the mouth coating
finish that is really quite dry and provides an interesting
contrast with the natural sweetness of the mid-palate. I would call
2006 a power vintage for Clos de la Barre that plays on the edge of
surmaturite. As to an overall assessment, it's hard to say whether
this bottle was really representative but I doubt it and in any
event it does not closely resemble what I originally reviewed in
2008 (see Issue 35 or the database). However, if it in fact was
representative I would advise drinking it up sooner than later.
