Candied fruit, animal, fur and meat on the nose and palate. It had good transparency with latent power. It had the Mugnier finesse on top of the more rustic terroir. But the overall profile was still more NSG than Mugnier. Terroir does matter. The candied palate was lovely. When it was served blind, I thought its a Claude Dugat Gevrey or Meo Camuzet.

Deep ruby turning garnet at the rim. Vibrant and fresh aromas of black raspberry, five-spice, and sandalwood underpinned by an enticing meaty/earthiness. Sappy, delicious, dark cherry, black raspberry flavors. This beefy boy is well suited to a variety of heavy meat dishes and cheeses and would benefit from additional aging. In fact, it's such a workhorse of a wine, it even paired nicely with a garlicky, spicy, Chinese version of mustard greens.

This is drinking quite well now, yet I feel there is a bit more in there still. Quite elegant, seamless, good length, fruit on the lighter red side, grows and improves in the glass, beatiful combination of slightly maturing fruit with the lighter red mix, hints of a mineral footprint. Love the balance.

Nose of cigar bow, red berries, sous-bois, mushrooms... Tannin present, red berries and ripe strawberries, nice wine!

Mugnier NSG Clos de la Marechale 2010.
Drikker veldig bra nå.
Fin lys frukt.
Elegant og småsexy til denne marken å være.
Flott vin.
