Good colour, quite deep for PN. Fresh and appealing, with no heaviness in spite of the fairly high alcohol. A nice middle style, with lots of stuffing but balancing acidity to make it refreshing.

Nice ruby colour. Ripe fruit up front with strong oak notes, and balancing acidity. Med to full bodied, and all in balance. Pretty much at its peak, and very much in the Muga style.

Vincent Girardin Vieilles Vignes Santenay 2013, Ac Bottle
Vincent Girardin Vieilles Vignes Santenay 2013, Ac
Burgundy, France
$31.25

Pale ruby at this stage, quite attractive. Full nose of ripe berry fruit, which carries on to palette. Nice mineral notes beneath. Medium bodied, taught and linear. This is quite fine for Santenay, although perhaps lacking the layers of complexity of great PN. Holding well, but at its peak.
