Deep saturated ruby. Bursting with black fruit, flowers, and herbs. Medium weight, gorgeous suave texture with deep soil base. Vivid, ripe blackberry and blueberry, licorice, fine acidity, and round unobtrusive tannins. I have been critical of this cuvée before, but this is as good an example as I’ve had. This is the third 2020 Mugnier wine I’ve tried, and the depth and volume of fruit in all of them have been breathtaking. No need to decant during this fruit forward stage.

3 hour double decant yields lovely aromas of crème de cassis, forest floor and a touch of peppery spice that gives way to a rich, intense, sweet black cherry core that just fades ever so slowly.

Red fruited, tons of cherry, very slightly earthy. Very clean, low tension, medium concentration. Light, bright fresh cherry at the mid-palate. Some spice in the finish. A very nice, very pretty wine, gentle, lovely. Doesn't have a ton of tension or cerebral complexity, but really great – the kind of wine I'd feel very lucky to have any day.

Infanticide. Too youth to drink. Only red and black fruit. Will need time to evolve.
