Description:

A superbly spicy nose combines a wide range of elements that include red and dark cherry, raspberry, lavender, violet, tea and sandalwood as well as a hint of herbal tea character. The super-sleek yet almost painfully intense and powerful big-bodied flavors are shaped by impressively fine-grained tannins on the youthfully austere finish where the power does a slow build from the mid-palate. This is very classy juice; indeed it's a Musigny of evident distinction.  Burghound 94

A wine that transcends the vintage, Mugnier's 2017 Musigny Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes wafts from the glass with aromas of wild strawberries, cherry, rose petal, wild blueberries, blood orange and warm spices. On the palate, it's full-bodied, multidimensional and stunningly pure, caressing the palate with its silky tannins and generous core of crystalline fruit, concluding with a resonant, fragrant finish. It's a magical Musigny that left me stammering.  William Kelley 96-98
