  Consumed with yakitori omakase at Torien NYC, 8/14/2023. Firing on all cylinders from the pop and pour. The 2002 Roumier Les Cras, usually the wine to steal my heart in a tasting, seemed downright shy and mute in comparison (which it was not, it showed as should, one of my fav roumiers.)
  
  This is drinking at peak pleasure now - I’m not confident cellaring can tease out additional complexity out of this young vine juice but I am confident one will be hard-pressed to open wines that can equal gibourg young-vine ruchottes’ aromatic fireworks of perfumey flowers, juicy & sweet red berries (like eating perfectly ripe wild strawberries I found in a Parisian farmer’s market.)
  A perfect wine for my palate but stopped short of a 100pt cuz in my book it takes great bottles cellared long in an ideal setting to arrive at such perfection.

  lol this is just village wine in the same way that Elizabeth Taylor was just a girl when she was young.

  A 2002 Mugneret-Gibourg Horizontal: Vivid and punchy and charismatic - immediately grabbed everyone's attention. Pure and pungent aromas of red fruit and a bit of meat and blood, all underlined by rock. Powerful stuff, but entirely pure and gentle too. Shows the nobility of the vineyard - a wonderful wine and drinking so well now.

  Excellent. High toned, piercing, complex, wild flower and red berry nose, a meatiness to it after 45+ min open. From young Ruchottes vines. Showing beautifully at this stage. Drink now and over next few years I would think.

  Out of magnum, young vine Ruchottes-Chambertin. Really impressive immediately from the bottle. Nose is very elegant for Gevrey, an almost floral component to the high toned darker fruit. Perfectly balanced in the mouth with a long finish. Certainly not a village wine. Held it's own with other Gevrey grands crus.
