I am having lunch Friday with a good friend and retail source for many of my favorite burgundies over the years. I really want to open a 2016 Meo-Camuzet Echezeaux and make a special day of it, but I have noted commentary to suggest that- in general- some 2016s are already shutting down pretty hard and will need to go a good distance.
Just curious if anyone has recent Meo experience to help the decision along. I know it is a young one to open, but I get enough Meo every year that I feel I need to open at least one bottle at release for reference. However, if there is a good chance it is going to be really painfully tight- then perhaps we will do a 2016 Parent Pommard instead. If I were at home, I could just let the bottle sit for a few hours. However since this is an out of town lunch- we are pretty much stuck opening it and spending 2 hours with it no matter how well it is showing during that time frame.
