Dark fruit immediately obvious on the nose and palate. NSG rusticity and tannins slightly on the rough side. Well balanced overall and decent intensity drinking very well now.

Wine is in a great place right now. Not as deep and beautiful as the Ruchottes, but still a really good drink. Soft on the palate, nice dark flavor with above average concentration. Just a really well balanced wine that's ready to drink.

My last bottle from a full case. I'd started drinking them up a few years ago because they were so delicious and lately, starting to fade a little. Not so with this bottle which was absolutely superb. The same waves of silky fruit as all the other bottles but with more energy and vitality. In any event, time to move onto the 01s!

Drunk over 2 nights. Yet another splendid bottle from a case that has delivered more pleasure than any other case I can recall. Consistently delicious.

Corks popped 4 hours before serving. Both bottles utterly magnificent, with no hint of the fading that the last bottle showed. Dark colour, reflected in dark fruit on the nose and palate. Delicious smokey and gamey notes to the deep but fleshy and quite vibrant fruit. Fabulous.

(Mugneret-Gibourg Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Les Chaignots") Awesome nose of blueberries, spice, animal fur. Ripe palate with sweet fruit. The fruit is so defined and the texture of the wine is like satin. Very accesible today but will age. A beauty.
