Classical Musigny - balanced and etherial on both the nose and the palate, but a bit muted. Not showing its potential. Wait 10 more years, when tertial aromas will kick in. Vogue's version is ready, though.

Oregon Trip-Day 2 (Here and there, Willamette Valley): Light ruby with tawny rim. Surprisingly ripe, almost candied red fruit complemented by light higher toned green notes and subtle stem inclusion. Medium weight, beautifully flowing, very fine acidity and light remaining tannins. I loved how this evolved in the glass, with the burst of fruit and citrus receding to the background, yielding to and supporting a beautiful core of soil which carried through from beginning to end. Ultimately, this is more about the subtle earth and savory elements than the fruit. Movingly complex wine at an almost perfect point in time.

In a perfect spot. Quite elegant, precise, distinguished. Lacking a little follow through perhaps. But lovely balance and style. Drink now over next 5-7 years

The 01 Drouhin Musigny surprises with its youth - I think it will get there (and it’s pretty fabulous today) but its best days are ahead.

Red berries, strawberries, earthy notes, balanced and long finish, an elegant vintage for Drouhin. From magnum.
