Community Tasting Notes 5

  July 29, 2018 - Resolved and ready to drink. Tannins have melted into a silken elegance and the fruit isn't fruit anymore, but has held onto enough material to come across denser and more saturating than many '98s are seeming at the moment. Not a ton of personality, though. I can't complete the sentence, "It tastes like..." except to say it tastes like a nice Burgundy of around its age.

  July 19, 2015 - Huge, bright strawberry flavors wafting out of the glass and decanter. A completely giving wine just at the onset of maturity. Very nice indeed.

  May 11, 2011 - Musigny (Marea): Smoky scent, perhaps a little ashy, which may be the source of the controversy over whether this has some cork taint, but I didn't detect even a trace of it and had no problem finishing my glass. It's initially a bit firm but becomes more open-knit with time in the glass. While this seemed to have slightly more fruit concentration than the Mugniers, otherwise this and the 1993 seemed a fairly seamless progression; somewhere around this point I remarked that these were all put together pretty much exactly the same and if we had been drinking them blind you would be hard-pressed to figure out where the divider from one producer to another was. Musigny is Musigny. The next pair did nothing to undermine that idea.

  March 13, 2011 - Lovely nose. Lacking the weight or complexity of, say, the de Vogue but thoroughly enjoyable.

  October 11, 2008 - Musigny Mass Murder (Plates): More evolved than either the '01 or the '99, this is the first where the fruit is starting to transmogrify into something more savory, but it's still a little shy in its expression.
