Mugneret Gibourg Clos Vougeot 2005 Cote de Nuits "As with many examples of young Clos de Vougeot, this is usually fairly reticent on the nose yet in '05 the nose is already expressive and bright with earthy red berry fruit aromas trimmed in a discreet touch of wood spice that is in keeping with the austere but centered full-bodied and tautly muscled flavors that possess at once power and detail on the stunningly long finish. This is brimming with dry extract and so much sap that the structural elements are almost invisible yet underneath all the sap is the spine to allow this to blossom and develop for the next twenty years. A great Mugneret Clos de Vougeot and definitely one to search for, just know that ample patience will be required." Burghound, 94 pts. 01/08 1 bottle
