opened from personal storage). An expressive, beautifully layered and still mostly primary nose mixes just a touch of secondary with black cherries, crushed red and black fruits and gorgeous spice notes. The rounded, elegant, intense and penetrating broad-shoulded flavors deliver superb precision on the intensely mineral-inflected finish that is still moderately firm though no longer so much that the explosively long and palate staining finale cannot be appreciated. I especially like the intensity and this does a slow build from the mid-palate on back. In sum this is a superb Musigny that should age for years though it's no longer so far away that it would be infanticide to consider opening one. Multiple and consistent notes. Burghound 95
