Theme: Musigny Grand Cru Infanticide, we know, but, really? However this is the most "reasonable" one that we could source.
No: 161 13% Lifted aromas: violet, raspberry, strawberry intermixed with blue fruits and rose petal! So fresh and seductive! Fresh, effortless on the palate. Still display good dose of sweet vanilla oak but no meant oaky or woody. I love the superb inner perfume here. Well integrated tannin, persistently long lingering finished. Delightful and sexy with lovely class and finesse. One of the best young Musigny for me along with 2010 Mugnier Musigny.

Somewhat reticent on the nose initially, with notes of spice (would've thought this was a Vosne had it been blind), red-cherries, violets emerging after some swirling... This will no doubt be a great wine in time - was a little closed, but it had that elegant, weightless intensity on the palate, amidst (slight) notes of red-candied cherries. Perhaps what it lacked was the complexity that will no doubt come with more bottle age. Regardless, a good wine that will definitely be great one day!
