  Graceful wine with sweet red fruit - almost raspberry sherbet. Some grip underneath and hints of orange and current. Delicious now but will need to wait another ten years for the secondary flavors to emerge. Price seems to be escalating rapidly on this one

  Opened at Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc. Slow-oxed for a while before being enjoyed for dinner.
  
  Upon first pour, we were on the fence between leaving it in the bottle to breathe, or whether to play around with decanting. We went for the first option in the end, hoping that it would open up over the course of the meal.
  
  Unfortunately, this really took a while to get going, and though there is a lot of power in this wine, the gorgeous Chambolle red-fruited floral elegant expressiveness that we know and love from Mugnier was just a bit muted. Definitely a product of the vintage, and just needs more time and air.
  
  Would seek to revisit this in around 3-5 years and see where it's at, but I imagine that patience will be rewarded and that there's some significant potential upside here. Still, a good red Burgundy from one of my favourite producers and always a pleasure to drink with G & M!

  Destemmed aromatics, fruit tilting towards darker red.

  Another Wine Slog Across France; 11/2/2019-11/13/2019 (Paris, Alsace, Burgundy, Encore Paris): Dull medium ruby. Strawberry and cherry at first, more cool wintergreen than the usual 2015, then more soil on the nose after about an hour. Medium weight, obvious clay base which carries through to the finish. Elegant, lacy red fruit with an orange peel top note, excellent acidity, and a long, gently tannic finish. Superb and hard to find any fault with how it is drinking now. More discrete wood than in some years I've tasted, probably reflecting the tremendous strength of the underlying material. Mind's eye Chanbolle.
