Very similar to my last bottle in 2019. Beautiful Chaignots nose which brings in some Vosne floral notes to compliment the rugged fruit and earthy notes although things are a bit less rugged. The ripeness has receded and the wine has become more subtle. There is still a fine core of structure but once that releases, this should be superb. Try again is 3 years or so.

Wine Dinner: Mugneret Gibourg Vertical (Zazie's, San Francisco): Aromatic, a bit smoky and spicy, some tobacco; palate is medium bodied, a bit richer than other vintages, black cherry; finish is medium length. Really lovely, but doesn’t hold up to the 2010. 92-93 Held up well, continued to flesh out and was interesting with more concentration and uniqueness on the nose. Loved it, 93.

Red currant, cherries and a lot of spices (white pepper, gloves), I did not decant, but it needs definitely some air. Good density and length, still a fresh wine, in-line with the vintage, at the beginning of it’s drinking window.

Mainly red fruit (red currant), lots of spices (gloves, pepper), excellent wine at the beginning of its drinking window.
