    Blind tasting can be humiliating... I thought this was 99 Vogue. Clean, lush, and a bit flamboyant compared to the other wines on the table. Another excellent Musigny that was outclassed by some of the older bottles.

    We drank this beauty in V Day. What a wonderful wine with brick red color, complex aroma of floral, earth and sea. A mouthful of silky palate and long after taste, but with high acidity to age well. This is a wine to enjoy slowly. I have a last bottle but will enjoy 5 years later. (Best to serve in 2.5hrs in btl, as commented by Lily)

    Cherry aromatics, flitting between red and black. Serious depth on palate with acidic pinch at end. Broke into something darker over 3 hours.

    Burgundy Lunch (with some pirates): This wine became better by the minute and offered so much different aromas packed in a soft, feminine Musigny structure. A lot of joy to drink today but has the legs to grow older and gain further complexity. This was my number 1 out of the 10 Pinots tasted - with the same 96 point rating but a tad ahead of the pirate from Switzerland: Studach 2010. The Mugnier wins thanks to its complexity which is intellectually very appealing. The Studach was probably the more complete showing and certainly a tad ahead in terms of hedonistic pleasure (and precision).

    TN: At first a bit muted but getting more intense by the minute displaying, stems, baking spices, earth, leather, fresh forest floor, some mushrooms, various herbs, cola. New aromas popped-up by the minute. All this is embedded in a soft texture, medium body, great balance, good length. So fresh and nicely precise.

    Decanting: Not decanted, no extensive decant needed but I would give it 1 hour in the decanter.

    Burgundy lunch. Beautiful tertiary notes with clay, sweet spices, some meaty elements. Silky palate. Would need more energy and fruit on the palate for a higher note. Good if you like your wines on the earthy side, but an underperformance in the context of Vineyard and producer.

    (Mugnier J-F Musigny) Opened 2 yours before the first pour. Medium colour - ruby but still with cherry-red accents. The nose is deeper and darker than that of the Bonnes-Mares, but less wide. Slowly in the glass the aromas gain width and dimension - I would say very fine. In the mouth my first impression is that it’s a little hard and tight; in tandem with the nose it slowly unwinds, softens and adds width. Another wine where the tannin hardly warrants a mention, though the quality of the wide and creamy finish was streets ahead of the Bonnes-Mares. In this context it was a fine wine, but one that didn’t ‘wow’.

    (Mugnier Musigny) The Musigny was majestic but oh so young and oh so closed. The wine was very interesting in that it was closed at the beginning . . . then slowly evolved into a classic Musigny with exotic spice, deep fruit and intense floral aromas. The palate never quite opened up but you saw the potential underneath all the structure. By the end of the night the wine was not giving much and just closed. Would love to try this in ten years.

    (Mugnier J-F Musigny) Splash decanted 15 minutes before drinking. Medium cherry/ruby red - the colour's a little intermediate, but not much fading. The nose starts a little 'solid' plenty of ashy oak taking at least an hour to release the creamy red fruit - it's good but not great. The palate is medium intensity with a spectacular finish, creamy and long, long, long. Most likely serves me right for opening at this age but I would have liked something to be happening in the mid-palate... Lovely balance - elegance over power, nice unobtrusive tannin and a real peacock's tail of a finish, but this left me looking for just that bit extra. Excellent but as said, not yet great...
