Tasting Notes for Le Musigny

A little more mature then what I had expected. Rich dark color, drinking very well with a long finish
and showing bread and yeasty under tones with lots of complexity.

Nice bottle with good fruit, and earth flavors. This got better as it warmed up in the glass. Not a super complex wine but very enjoyable.

Had this up against the Coche and Boillot. This was the least favorite but all had a similar profile flavors. This just didn't have the same structure as the Coche.
