  Mugneret-Gibourg (Clos Vougeot and Lutenières) (Tøyen, Oslo): Double decanted 3 hours before dinner
  
  The nose had blueberries, slightly balsamic strawberry and some oak infused spiciness.
  
  The palate is just fantastic, so incredible concentration, playful structure with juicy strawberry on top.
  
  As with the Vougeot 2020, this became even better after 24-48 hours, should become even more fun with more bottle age.

  Mugneret-Gibourg (Clos Vougeot and Lutenières) (Tøyen, Oslo): Absolutely spectacular nose upon opening.
  
  This changed through the night, after a little while going more towards that 20 vintage primary phase signature, which for me is blackberry, blackcurrant, plums, licorice and burnt sugar.
  
  However, at the very end of the night, this became ever brighter in profile, now going towards raspberry, fresh strawberry, citrus fruits on top of dried heather, baking powder, hawthorn and cedar.
  
  The palate was, from the beginning, red fruited with a dry mouthfeel with cigar box, dried bushes, cedar and a slight bell pepper finish.
  
  At first, this made me a bit sceptic regarding this vintage from Mugneret-Gibourg, it seems like 2020 is so dense and slightly out of character. However, after TWO DAYS, it finally hit its stride! Now, it is unbelievable beautiful, so unfathomable smooth textures, quite reminiscent of Vougeot 2019 and very true to the style I´ve come to expect from Mugneret-Gibourg. This clearly will need SO much time, but that level obtained after 2 days of air, for me, is as good, or maybe even better, than the 2019.

  Mugneret-Gibourg (Clos Vougeot and Lutenières) (Tøyen, Oslo): Double decanted 3 h prior to serving
  
  Almost candied strawberry, rhubarb, cloudberry, cut hay on the nose.
  
  So sweet and caressing palate, huge intensity growing through the curve.
  
  Next to the Clos Vougeot 2019, it showed many similarities, perhaps a slightly less obvious nose and a bit more structured and direct palate, not as weightless as Vougeot (then again, what is?).
