The sleeper vintage, one at this time I bet to be even more showy than the illustrious 2000. It’s simply just ready to go after a short decant wafting from the glass with layers of cassis, black truffle, violets and licorice. This is a wine of texture and elegance, as Margaux should be—It’s liquid cashmere in the mouth with melting tannins and a black truffle and mineral inflicted finale that keeps on going. Superb showing tonight, with still a long life ahead. — 2 months ago

Bouquet of cinnamon, anise, fig, and worn leather commingled herb-scented red and dark cherry. Rich yet gentle palate with silky texture. Soft elegant tannins coats the mouth like wearing baby cashmere.

This is a bit more advanced than I thought it would be at 10 years - not a complain.

100% Tempranillo, 2012 is the first vintage without Merlot. — 3 years ago

Was explained to me as a warm cashmere sweater hug. Can’t say that’s not true. — 6 years ago

Although I find not all 2012’s are ready to go, Mugnier’s Fuées is absolutely gorgeous with a mesmerizing bouquet, liquid cashmere texture and a crazzzzy long finish. When it peaked towards the end of dinner it was really something to behold. Superb. — 4 years ago

This is really good. A little sour with espresso bitterness, but a cashmere mouthfeel and nice lingering finish. Not a ton of fruit, gives the aroma of an older wine despite being a youngish vintage. — 6 years ago

My dad has saved this bottle for about 40 years, and decided to open to celebrate this year’s Father’s Day.
Beautiful amber color. Black pepper, blackcurrant, caramel, fig, honey, and hint of worn leather. Still very intense on the palate but sure footed and as smooth as cashmere. Complex and graceful. Really shows no sign of aging. This could go another 40 years. Paired with a wide range of Michelin 2-star Cantonese cuisine. Amazing experience.
Happy Father’s Day! — a year ago

Wow 98 is good. Mesmerizing aromatics of saffron, allspice and honeycomb with a silky liquid cashmere texture, dazzling length and racy acids. The whole package. As they say, liquid gold, and all that was needed for dessert. Great to be able to enjoy more than just a glass. 👑 — 4 years ago
