1998 Mongeard Mugneret Echezeaux Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes

This wine needs time to evolve. Medium body, crimson colour, with deep crimson mauve edges. The nose is subtle yet very refined. Nuances of strawberry, spice, truffles and just a hint of game gradually evolve, and herald a great wine of the future. The palate flavours are a touch light at the front, but built relatively quickly to produce a young Pinot flavour wave. Fine grained tannins with cherry and strawberry aftertaste. Cellar 4 – 5 years.

RATING: 89/100
