  Jasper Mugnier. There's a dustiness to the aromas that I find unappetising, also lacks clarity I prefer. Not a great vintage of this wine, for me.

  Never had a Mugnier bottle that was corked, so this was surprising and very disappointing; and this was my only bottle of Musigny from this vintage. ☹️

  Surprisingly young for a 97. Lots of raspberry, cherry, some vanilla bean, Muscovy-duck type game, mineral on the nose. Potent; young and evolving. Absolutely silky palate but bigger than I would have expected for Musigny; the poise here was lovely. Really loved it.

  I don't think this wine exhibited the heat from the '97 vintage, if anything this showed that '97's are ready to be enjoyed. Pop and poured with a nose of red and black cherries, violets, truffles, and anise which after an hour or so the wine expanded and showed the iron fist wrapped in velvet aspect of Musigny. In a great place, definitely drink up.

  A very pleasing wine and an excellent 1997, this was still marked by the heat of the harvest, giving the wine a bit too much clunky weight. That said, it was very enjoyable. (Betony)
