A change of plans from 1996 DRC Richebourg. This is pretty special. A spectacular nose, still youthful on the palate, nice structure and acidity, and a fine finish. Very nice with a Flannery dry aged ribeye.
I traded some 2000 Harlan, I believe for this, and have two more bottles. A definite wow wine!

Thanks for posting a note. Bought 4 bottles of this in 2007 for what now seems like next to nothing.
Still got two bottles left so appreciate an update on how it is showing. Last bottle about 7 years ago was spectacular.
cheers Brodie
Thanks for the note. Attended a dinner a good decade ago where a vertical of Mugnier Moose was served and this was the best on the night IIRC.

Don’t know how evolved your bottle was but this is still pretty spectacular and I feel this has many years of life ahead. This is why one buys and cellars Burgundy. Doesn’t always work out but when it does

Seems like this is pretty timeless. Ten years ago, seven years ago, now, very nice.
Great wine. Was clearly WOTF in our Musigny lineup last year against the 00/01 Vogüé and 00 Mugnier.

An excellent plan change that worked out excellently :)! Thanks for the note. Good 2001s are in a great place.

Thanks for posting.
Brought back memories of the amazing 1990 of which I sold several cases to clients who still rave.
Freddy = very special wines.
Smart trade. I bought bottles of the '01 Mugnier CM village wine on release for a song ($29 I think). Wish I still had one, but hey were so good I couldn’t resist.
What is the exit price of musigny from the domaine nowadays ?
