Double Blind. The moment this is poured I think this is Mugnier - the nose screams it. But then the palate, while very red fruited and pleasant, is unusually warm and slightly sweet, which isn't the typical Mugnier profile, and I've had a bunch of the 2002 Fuees recently. I wonder if it may have been that I used this glass for the Faiveley? It's a nice wine, but not a great example of a Mugnier on the palate. That said, I was still kicking myself for not sticking with my guess of Mugnier - the nose is completely correct and absolutely lovely.

Very much underwhelmed. Classic color but forgettable nose and tasted like Meomi. Apologies to Meomi lovers. Acquired from crushwine. Otherwise would question authenticity. I don’t trash wines lightly. Bummed I have three more. Avoid.

Red cherries, smoke, and earth. Delicate, mature, tasty. A fine village wine well worth what I paid for it, but I sure wouldn't pay current auction prices. B+/B

Prime-time, delicious. I was underwhelmed by the 1999 recently, but this was wonderful.

Yes, this wine did in fact have an upward trajectory. 🙂
The primary baby fat has faded, leaving a tauter, leaner impression, for the better to me.
