Drinking Some Great Mugnier as an Hommage to Becky Wasserman (Republique - Los Angeles CA): In 99/01/02/05 vertical, preceded by the same vintages of Amoureuses. My first time tasting this vintage (there was an interruption in Chicago distribution that year), and it certainly didn't disappoint. Big and burly (for Mugnier) and less perfectly harmonious today vs the older vintages with slightly sweeter red fruit than typical. But more here and probably the longest finish. My least favorite of the four vintages for pleasure right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is best in another decade.

(Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Musigny) Charming roses and strawberry nose; delicious, tart, focused, cherry palate with depth and good acidity; long finish

Quite shut aromatically. Elegant, transparent palate.

Didn't hit my expectations. Needs a lot more time. But quite pure yet leaning on the darker fruit end. Takes time open.

Too young to score. I'll wait another 5 years before I open another bottle. Great potential
