Nose: ripe cherry, game, hoisin sauce, strawberry, nutty Notes: this is an amazing wine with loads of potential. Although this is probably not the right time to drink now, I can sense immense intensity and harmony in the wine. The wine is currently very thick and dense on the nose but the palate is quite delightful. The greatest wines are capable of integrating all these contradicting flavors which in fact is what makes wines so interesting. I'm certain that this will be wonderful in 15 years time but I don't think we can draw a conclusion on this wine at all today. Drink: 2038+ Rating: 93+

Glorious spice akin to 96 but lacking the burnt quality, and fruit of course more youthful and exuberant. Greatly enjoyed this in the way that I find myself also enjoying some 17 grand cru, a precocious vintage that brings a lot to the table. Surely capable of long term development, but tempting to drink in the short term nonetheless.

I seldom write here (this bottle actually motivated me to start sharing notes..) but we treated ourselves with this tonight. Slightly disappointed to be honest. Its a tough vintage but such a climate and producer need to deliver (aside from the price point…). The wine didn’t show the depth (especially the mid palate) that was expected. It was super good yes, silky yes, but not grand. Too introvert as my wife rightfully said. Tough

Musigny (Shanghai): 09/11/13. Lifted purple fruit, dark berries, meaty, orange spice, more classically Mugnier. Still way too young. 93+
