  [Grand Millesime's "Musigny & Richebourg 1976-1929" Dinner at Circa Restaurant, Melbourne] Translucent medium garnet, russet-mauve reflection. Mature black & red fruit bouquet with lots of sweet confectionery, fruit pastille, toffee, butterscotch, caramel, spice & vanilla notes. Medium plus, quite deep & intense black & red fruits with complex secondary nuances; very gentle ripe tannins offering only token grips; fine acidity in good harmony, becoming more obtrusive with time in glass; eventually mid palate dried up in about 2 hrs. Quite long, attenuated finish. At its best (82)

  Lichine's search for the best grapes and the best grower has yielded a stunning Musigny with great depth & broad complex flavors that coat the palate and amaze the nose! Typical Vosne spice and a rainbow of smells dazzle as the wine evolves in the glass... otherworldly in its delivery. Lasted well into the evening with duck, truffles and peach tart. stunning...

  Mind bending richness and complexity. Deep forest floor and notes of spices, black-red fruits intermingle with a rainbow of scents and flavors that are both very long and profound. An out of body experience! WOW!
