Wine Dinner: Mugneret Gibourg Vertical (Zazie's, San Francisco): Deeper aromatics, some figs, some musk; palate is deeper, still with some fruit concentration, some savory, nice depth, good concentration, medium-plus acidity, low alcohol; medium-plus finish. Lovely burgundy, deeper and richer than the more red fruited ‘98. 92-93

Agree with the high-80's score that seems to be the consensus with this guy. Serviceable and (relatively) reasonably priced, but nothing to really make it stand out -- screams neither this (great, IMHO) producer, or NSG Chaignots place IMHO. No hurry to drink; no perceptible reason to hold a lot longer, either.....

Ok showing but this bottle was a little grumpy, certainly compared with the 2000 Rousseau csj it was paired with. Dark, black fruits but still pretty tight. Might have been the stemware to be fair.

Another bottle of this at the Kittle House. This bottle even better than last. Dark ruby. Very fragrant nose on this bottle. Black cherry and spice with decent acidity and mineral spine running through. Moderate to long finish. A great surprise that went really well with the hanger steak.

(Mugneret Dr Georges Nuits St.Georges Les Chaignots) Medium-plus colour. Drunk directly after the l’Arlot Nuits (Les Fôrets); the nose is instantly more concentrated and fruit driven, edged with a Vosne-like spicyness. Again the palate is more fruit-driven and shows a higher level of tannins, but they are finer cut. A good finish too. Despite sharing a Nuits 1er cru label, this is a totally different wine to the l’Arlot, each will have their own followers. Today I would choose the aromatics of the l’Arlot and the palate of the Mugneret!

Nice savoury notes but slightly over the hill
