T's 45th Birthday (Søllerød Kro): From magnum. Refined and precise wine with lots of drinking pleasure. It has refined light cherry and strawberry fruit and a touch of wet leaves. But, it does present itself as a very young wine still. There is a touch of For me, it lacked a bit of intensity but overall, it was a great wine!

Enjoyed at Otto e Mezzo. Small glass generously shared. Bottle already previously opened.
This was better than I thought it'd be - drinking very well, Mugnier charm, clearly excellent condition bottle. Red fruits, delicate, none of that NSG 'rusticity' at all. Almost a hint of Vosne Spice, which would probably fool me if I was tasting this blind.
This is probably at peak now and am very glad to enjoy this, even though it feels like it will hold for many years at this level assuming good provenance and storage. Thanks to JR for sharing!

Still fairly rich, concentrated and primary though with the deft touch of Mugnier that gives it refinement and lift. True to NSG with a meaty, funky note throughout that adds interest. Still 3-5 years from peak drinking, but approachable now.

Had that blood aged pinot noir note to it. I'd say time to drink up!
