  Drinks very well now but will last. Tannins remain dominant, but fruit shines through.Well balanced wine in spite of the unusually warm growing season.

  At pnp, heady flowery bouquet and surprisingly no reduction or funk I sometimes find in a warm vintage bottle of Mugnier's. Palate was closed. Left it open and standing at cellar temp for 3 hours and by the time it was consumed during dinner (~4hrs later) it was open and showing so beautifully. MUCH improved from 9/2020 when I consumed it with nicephora and others (granted, at that point, it was a pnp consumption.) Drank sidebyside a 2009 Bize SavignyLB 1er les Guettes, which was also slow aired and consumed 4hrs later. Mugnier was rocking w/ red fruit and silky ethereal palate that was fresh, juicy and long; Bize showed somw wholestem green, darker plummy fruit and overly tart, though it was open and showing, not closed like I feared. The 1er cru perhaps needs a few more years to tame the acid and the bitter green (I hope) but for now, this 2009 Mugnier village is rocking. 2010 is next up on the docket.

  Blind. Airy, elegant, complex and lingering.

  Decanted and repoured into the bottle. Tasted 4 hours later.
  
  This is really showing the vintage.
  Rich red fruits, bordering on stewed, with some baking spice and savory notes. This is a tad dense and if blinded I would have presumed new world. Pleasant and rich but not nearly as enrapturing as the 2017 I opened in June. Saved 8oz in the fridge… hopefully a few more days helps it find the mugnier magic.

  Started off lean and somewhat shut down, with air the vintage took hold, sweet lush and round red and dark red fruit in a floral wrapper appeared, all plush fruit I hope this finds some focus and definition as the alcohol was a bit disconcerting, it’s one dimensional traits today were hopefully a facade and the wine just needs much more time.
