- Allen Meadows -The intense and slowly maturing pinot fruit wafts from the glass offering beautifully nuanced aromas of smoke, violets and a cornucopia of red fruit that is now beginning to reveal some secondary development. The mid-palate is finally beginning to open with velvet-textured flavors that exude a lovely minerality before joining with a seamless finish that seems to go on and on. Mugnier once told me that this is the finest wine he has ever made and I don't doubt it for a second. This is "thrill a second" juice that should drink well for another 15 to 20 years, perhaps longer. To my taste, this is still on the way up though it is approaching its prime window of drinkability and could certainly be enjoyed now. Note: While my many notes are reasonably consistent with this wine, I have encountered some moderate bottle variation as my scores have ranged from a low of 93 to a high of 97, either because some bottles seem to lack the same freshness as others or because some bottles seem to possess borderline harsh tannins.
