  Took to Pastis miami
  Late dinner with BB
  A big elegant wine
  No formal tasting notes but the wine showed beautifully with no decanting
  Much improved from my previous bottle in a great spot now.

  Overtly floral and ripe notes of strawberry and cherries. Opens up on the palate after an hour. This is lovely stuff and improved in the glass. Paired ever so nicely with Otto white truffle linguine.

  A very lovely wine by an iconic producer. First bottle ever of any Mugnier and first also for this climat for me.
  
  Ordered this from the list of a restaurant, and this was supposedly slow ox’d for 30 to 40 mins without a decant. It was actually ready to go. One noticeable thing is that the fruit fades very fast in the glass if there’s 1/3 of a pour remaining, so in order to keep the fruit aromas, the wine needed to be topped off every few minutes, else the alcohol vapors will come to the foreground.
  
  The upside on the nose: beautiful aromas of fresh and dried strawberries, cherries, raspberries, light earth, herbs, spices, a bit of a roasted coffee note and a tiny hint of leather in there somewhere. Extremely elegant, and enough acidity from a cool vintage to enjoy in very refined upscale fine dining settings. I sensed nothing “rustic” about this, but to each their own. Easy to indulge on its own as well, as it is lighter than expected. I still prefer the Taupenot Mermes NSG Pruliers 2015 1er I had a few days prior but it was a treat for sure to experience this.

  Quick notes while drinking with a friend. Opened and let slow ox for an hour. The color had some nice bricking. On the nose, dried red fruit, pomegranate, floral, baking spice, and mushrooms. No greenness of the 2011 vintage detected.
  
  Palate: spice, med acidity, med tannins, and well balanced. Drinking beautifully right now.
  
  Corked this in 55degree F cooler and came back to it 4 hours later after going to dinner, and it went dead. It became thin and lean. Didn’t give as much on the nose or palate. Experienced drinkers, what does this mean?

  This was drinking very well. Gamey nose and dark red fruit and dark orange notes. I would have liked a bit more finesse but a lovely red burg in its midlife.
