Starts off a little tart. Then comes around quite quickly with a bit of air. Earth, high pitched cranberry, very good mouthfeel and very elegant. Could do with a tiny bit more stuffing, it's a tad lean but so nice in an autumnal way. Lovely village for sure. If it had some more core sweetness it could be exceptional but it is just shy of that. So while great MG Vosne village isn't quite up there with the Champions league (think Comte Liger Belair) but it's one of the best of the rest. But feels like it's time to drink up over the next 3-5 years as my fear is that the tartness is just going to get more pronounced and the fruit will fade which could render it too "sour" soon.

More buttoned up than the last time I tried it. I'd drink these up, there's plenty of fruit but no real structure left. Enjoy them while the fruit is fresh and kicking.

2007 Burgs, round 1 (Noize): Hard to assess this one. At first there's plenty of gamey aroma to enjoy, whilst the palate is a little clipped, but with air and food things broaden and the reserved acidity becomes an asset rather than a hindrance. Not a sin to open this tonight, and enjoyable, but it's a bit rigid and there's probably more to come.

I was frankly disappointed when opened- tart cranberry and raspberry, all acid, seemingly short finish. But revisited later that night better, and much better on day 2. Still red fruit and acid, but more balanced, with sandalwood and spice and longer minerally finish. On day 2 B+. 2007 is supposed to be the drink now vintage but I think I'll hold remainder a bit (or open earlier in day).

(Mugneret-Gibourg Georges Vosne-Romanée) In bottle for a month from a mix of 70 and 25 year-old vines. Lovely, pure, fruit-driven aromas that seem almost silky. In the mouth there's super taxture and is one of those rare villages wines that show gras (or fat). Lovely balance and concentration that follows beautifully into the finish. Excellent villages.
