"In much the same fashion as the 2011 there is an herbal tea element to the super-fresh and beautifully elegant nose that strikes me as being right at an inflection point where the aromas are just beginning to turn toward the secondary. There is a really lovely underlying tension to the dense and much more mineral-driven medium weight flavors that also possess a sophisticated texture, all wrapped in an admirably long and balanced if ever-so-slightly lean finish that belies a trace of austerity."

"The 2008 Nuits St. Georges Clos de la Maréchale offers up black cherries, sweet spices, flowers and licorice, all of which meld together beautifully in a weightless, impeccably elegant style. Floral, minty notes add complexity and nuance on the refined finish." -Antonio Galloni

"Half bottle. What a difference temperature makes! When I opened this half it was a bit cold and incommunicative, but now it is round and supple with no trace of 2008's notorious obduracy. Lots of jewelly fruit and sweetness. It seems the perfect moment to start drinking it, from half anyway. So long as it is not too cool...My drink dates relate to the same wine in a standard bottle, for there are some fine tannins here. Mugnier is really getting to grips with this great big vineyard."
