Clos de Vougeot, Domaine Georges Mugneret 1996

Tasting Notes

Each time I have this, it always strikes me as though it was just bottled with its very primary but perfumed fruit and reasonably dense, quite sappy pinot flavors that display good concentration and the only change that I can discern since the last bottle I tried is that the finish is a bit longer. Overall, this is really lovely and impressively long and the classic austerity of young Clos de Vougeot appears only on the finish. A top flight '96 that will require continued patience. Drink: 2012+
