October 19, 2022 - OK, but underwhelming given age and pedigree. Probably at or close to prime time. Still has lots of life.
September 4, 2021 - Colour pale with some browning. Glorious nose. Lacy fragrant soaring nose. Hint of sous Bois . Very Chambolle. Crunchy mature fruit on palate . Very elegant. A delight.
February 10, 2019 - A couple of years ago I wrote a private note on this wine: "subdued, seems mature". I remember it not showing well.
This bottle was much more vibrant and alive, with lovely fruit on the nose and palate and a nice structure. Classic Mugnier at age 20.
October 1, 2017 - Just amazing. Finally beginning to come around. I sat sniffing this wonder a full evening.
December 28, 2016 - Was good but not remarkable. Not sure time will change; have one left.
April 9, 2016 - Light flavors of earth and floral, nice tension with a sweet edge. Good, but time to drink. Shows as a well made village wine true to terroir.
December 27, 2015 - Holiday Champagne Dinner (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Red cherry and berry flavors and aromas with very good balance and elegance. Moderate weight. Very good for now, and this should drink well for another decade.
June 10, 2014 - Perfectly ok $150 wine, but $700?!?!?!
October 20, 2013 - Good as it every was. Tasty village Chambolle, fruity nose, well balanced between fruit and acid, some secondary flavors. Silky, silky. Went great with the black cod.
January 8, 2013 - similar to prvious bottles. A very fine village wine that was excellent with duck.
