2007 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Vignes Rondes. Light-mid brick; viscous; red fruit, cedar, ripe cherry nose; mid+ acids, mid-full tannins; good depth of fruit; long semi-chewy finish; can use a little more time. Fine NSG for this vintage. 16.5-17 UC Davis scale, 91-92 other scales.

Even it's a 07 and with more than 12 years of aging, it still exhibits the muscular style of the Domaine. Powerful, intense of fruity and savory palate. A well-made 1er but not my cup of tea.

Followed over two nights and probably better on night two. Not sure where this wine is going as the nose is muted (and remained so over two nights; didn’t pick up on any TCA) but for my tastes the palate is in a good spot and probably doesn’t have the structure to go super long from here. Despite the somewhat closed nose, this is quite tasty now.

Light medium ruby in color, this is no wallflower. A beauitful, engaging, perfumed nose with cherry fruit and Vosne like spice. Intoxicating really. As lovely as the nose is, this is even perfumed on the palate. Roses, more cherry fruit, Vosne- like spice, with some basil- minty moss and a hint of earthy structure. Expansive, yet focused and pure. This is more about grace and hidden structure more than power, with everything coming together seamlessly into a greater whole. Supple and rich, with beautiful texture and sap. It's forthcoming and giving in an '07 mode, with some plumpness, but not fat or flab, and beautiful fruit, florals, and perfume that seem not limited to the nose but continue to flow into the palate, with beautifully balanced acidity keeping it all fresh. Very long, and when you think it is done, here it comes, more spice and perfume that lingers long after the wine is gone. Drinking beautifully, it's really in a terrific spot and in no fear decline anytime soon. A wine wine complexity, but more so, one of pleasure. NSG meets Vosne. A wine of harmony and joy. Beautiful. 93pts

In good shape. Nice balance fruit, tannis and acidity for 2007.
