Elegance des Volnay BYO Dinner (Domaine de la Pousse d'Or - Volnay): From magnum. Very ripe and fully mature. More black than red fruit. Good spice, good density, but slightly lacking in energy, which makes this seem shorter than in the best vintages, and with a less complex finish. But perhaps my hopes were too high given last night's wonderful 1969.

Absolutely pristine bottle. Wine retained a dark, red colour in the glass. However, some sign of the wine "turning" on the nose. Palate itself was cleaner though a little faded overall for my taste.

A mix of Mugneret-Gibourgs (Medlar, Chelsea, London): Cloudy, some lively sharp fruit, attractive mature burgundy, not not distinctive

Obviously fully mature but still lively and with plenty of body. Not as persistent as the 64 but with a bit more density.

Shama's Mugneret-Gibourg @ Medlar (The Medlar, London): That sweet fruited old burg nose and palate. Quite persistent, decent length. Not as good or as harmonious as a 76 TB Sav Lav recently, but nice enough. (*)**
