Description

RP 96+ “Mugnier’s 1999 Musigny Grand Cru is still a very youthful wine, but a few hours’ decant gives a more than adequate sense of its immense quality. A beautiful bouquet of raspberries, black cherry, cocoa powder, violets, peony and incipient notes of rich soil and cedar introduce a pure, full-bodied wine with pitch-perfect balance and a deep, spherical core of ripe tannin, juicy acidity and reserved concentration. This is not an especially flamboyant wine, but it’s incredibly authoritative and sophisticated; and in another decade, it will be just irresistible. (WK)” (March 2018)
