Saturday, October 15, 2022 - I've been a lucky frequent guest of Dave & Desi D's & recently for a feast at Big Al & Janelle's. So, we had both couples over tonight for some trout & Linguini Di Frutti Nita, I & Joe cooked up & paired w/ a couple champagnes, a couple Chablis & a couple red Burgs.

This was opened 3hrs prior to dinner & finding it in pretty nice place I put the cork back in till 2hrs b4 drinking w/ the Frutti del Mare. Served in Riedel Burgs around 58-64 degrees. Alc a modest 12.5%. Semi translucent bright red w/ amber edges. Lovely aromas of roses, underbrush & red berries. Palate is signature Mugnier w/ spot on fruit purity, transparency & weightlessly silky elegance. Still some gorgeous red fruit w/ a hint of sweetness drifting on a core of mineral & underbrush. Hints of licorice & other harmonics out of descriptor reach. I think, this is at peak or, very close? One left that I may roll the dice on & wait for its 20th in 2026. Purchased on release & carefully stored. 94+ My fav of my 2 reds tonight.
