Decant for sediment(lots of fine/cloudy sediment) and pour. A majestic tawny dark red color. On the nose: sweet port like with dried plum/cherry, herbaceous, rich soil, mushroom, pepper. Taste: Amazing! juicy, refined, balanced, savory wine with dried cherry, black raspberry, earth, tobacco, mint, and a nice mocha baking spice medium plus finish. YUM! Still delivering at 44 years, and glad to have a few more bottles. — a month ago

Vintage 2009 | This is a Pomerol with a certain strictness. We tasted it blind next to a left bank wine but the tasters did not recognize this as a right bank wine. It seems to be made for the long haul, with clear tannines even after 15 years. Good integrated wood with a light vanilla impression. — 9 days ago

Slow over for two hours then 30 minutes in the fridge then one hour in the decanter and served for dinner. Got more elegant as time passed. Classic Musigny — a month ago

My red of this Melbourne trip and winner of our little “Vosne-side of NSG” shootout. Pitted in a blind against the 19’ M-G Chaignots, and I felt it had more energy and better quality oak. Honestly, we were splitting hairs as both wines were on par in terms of complexity, intensity, and drinking pleasure.

On the nose, lifted red fruits, primarily ripe strawberries; hints of blackcurrants, roses, spice, earth, and a distinct chalkiness. You can really smell the “gout de terrior” here, and wood felt very seamless especially compared to the M-G. Pure, powerful, and silky on the palate, with a salinity that seemed to grow with air, and spice-inflected super lengthy finish. Loved the energy! Very young and structured for sure, but already a real joy to drink. — 2 months ago

Not part of our little “Vosne-side of NSG” blind shootout, but it might as well have been. Opened earlier during dinner as a blind, I thought it looked very NSG. Why I had it there was mostly down to the elimination process in our blind options. Right on I was, but had it younger.

Very dark fruited on the nose, along with earthy, spicy notes and hints of dark chocolate and moss. The palate was quite pure and elegant, with grippy tannins and an earthy, lightly mineral (which didn’t seem to grow with air) finish. When drank side-by-side with the pair of 19’ NSG during dinner, it didn’t quite have the depth not intensity of the two. It certainly wasn’t as bombastic as the MG, nor had the obvious “goût de terrior” notes of the Grivot, but had a certain elegance I liked. — a month ago

No specific notes but a very elegant, spicy and floral burg done by one of the finest we know. Really good bottle and recommended. Might be a notch or two better with another 5 to 6 years of cellar time. — 2 months ago
