  For now. This wine carries the Georges Mugneret label. Not sure it makes a difference. The wine has been stored at 47 degrees give or take a few degrees higher in a hot Summer since acquisition upon release - basically in a refrigerator. Upon opening, the stinky 1990 tannins are up front. After five hours, those tannins are still present, but what has emerged underneath is a really seriously extracted red fruit burgundy. As we know, storage is everything in aged wine. Not well stored, this wine is over the hill. Storage is very much made clear in this wine. When it comes good in maybe 8 years give or take, it will be in the mid 90's.
  Left the half full bottle on the sideboard overnight and retried with dinner tonight. Still in fine shape. Not a hint of ageing. Tannin still dominates, but the tasty red fruit pinot is much more in the picture. Patience will be rewarded.

  With white truffle at Garibaldi. Lots of hope for this one, but I was disappointed. Ruby red, nice brightness and vibrancy. Decent nose with cherry, pomegranate, grapefruit, herbs, forest floor and leather. With extended time, the wine became rather flat on the nose with black tea, tobacco and more herbs. Weak palate, with decent red fruit, but very one dimensional and rather tart and jammy. Hardly any tannin or acidity to this wine, and rather disjointed. The nose was good, but overall quite disappointing.

  Drinking quite nicely if a bit ripe and sweet.

  All the elements are there. The wine actually needs time. Some new wood on the nose with a rich meaty essence. But suffers the disability of many 1990's. The fruit quality is dull, for whatever reason, in contrast for example to the elegant bright fruit of the 1985's.
  I won't be unloading this, it is indeed a red burgundy of quality, but in terms of structure, extract, it is quite probably in the ball park with the 1985 Georges Mugneret, but the difference in the fruit quality of the two vintages is immense.

  rode kleur, iets lichte tint, geur is van alles: animaal met aardsheid en mineraliteit, klein rood fruit ook spicy en wat vuurwerk. smaak is zacht, licht romig met lekker zuurtje en helemaal in balans. is dit op leeftijd? is nog in prima staat
