Dark fruit immediately obvious on the nose and palate. NSG rusticity and tannins slightly on the rough side. Well balanced overall and decent intensity drinking very well now.

Wine is in a great place right now. Not as deep and beautiful as the Ruchottes, but still a really good drink. Soft on the palate, nice dark flavor with above average concentration. Just a really well balanced wine that's ready to drink.

My last bottle from a full case. I'd started drinking them up a few years ago because they were so delicious and lately, starting to fade a little. Not so with this bottle which was absolutely superb. The same waves of silky fruit as all the other bottles but with more energy and vitality. In any event, time to move onto the 01s!

Drunk over 2 nights. Yet another splendid bottle from a case that has delivered more pleasure than any other case I can recall. Consistently delicious.

Corks popped 4 hours before serving. Both bottles utterly magnificent, with no hint of the fading that the last bottle showed. Dark colour, reflected in dark fruit on the nose and palate. Delicious smokey and gamey notes to the deep but fleshy and quite vibrant fruit. Fabulous.

Just about the most consistently delicious wine I have bought. Soft, dark fruit, typical of 2000 but with a hint of iron and structure from NSG. Absolutely gorgeous wine.

Impossible to resist these at the moment. Wine was raring to go from the first minute. Loads of dark berries and rich fruit on the attack with some licorice too. Surprisingly powerful and rich. With air it became a little less explosive and developed more red fruit and acidic spine. Superb wine.

Popped and drunk after 2 hours of air. This is just in such a great spot right now. Lots of supple, dark fruit with some iron and earth thrown in for good measure. Utterly delicious.

Served alongside the 99 Heresztyn MSD Millandes which was a very illuminating pairing for some friends new to burgundy. Smooth, glossy, black fruit with a gorgeous, intoxicating nose. Seemed a little too soft (classic 2000) in the mouth, almost gloopy, certainly compared to the Millandes. Still, this was very easy drinking and disappeared fast to much praise from the guests.

I am so helplessly in love with Mugneret-Gibourg wines and it's all Paul Dellar's fault for that 03 Echezeaux at The Oak OL a few weeks' back! Noticeably darker colour than the 2000 Michel Gros VR Clos des Reas that it was paired with. Black fruit, licorice and Hoisin on the nose. Again, so supple on the palate. Spicy black fruit and weightier on the palate than the Reas and a little more serious although not quite as joyous for me. Still awesome! This wine won't get you to homebase on its own but it will give you a better chance at a longer lasting, deeper relationship in the long run

A mix of Mugneret-Gibourgs (Medlar, Chelsea, London): A bit neutral, though woth time in the glass red fruits came through

Shama's Mugneret-Gibourg @ Medlar (The Medlar, London): Quite a full ruby. Nose a little mute. Very smooth and rounded and with a surprising amount of stuffing. Lovely. ***1/2

Lush, velvety smooth, dark fruit but a little flat tonight compared to previous bottles. Clearly beaten by the 01 served alongside it.

Bright and pleasing, if a little on the lighter end of style- and thus atypical of an NSG.

An evening of Mugneret-Gibourg (Le Deuxième, Long Acre, London): Quite hard to taste after the three younger vintages, this was still dark and young, no sign of any secondary development, just restrained pinot fruit
