Bright medium red. More expressive on the nose today than the Amoureuses, offering ineffable scents of black raspberry, lavender and flinty, smoky minerality. By far the plushest and deepest of these 2014s but still with outstanding definition and verve. This wonderfully fine-grained, classically dry Musigny boasts bulletproof fruit and finishes with impressive medicinal reserve. Beginning with the 2013 Musigny, Mugnier will be delaying the release of his top bottling for a minimum of two years--and possibly several years more than that--as he finds this wine especially hard to read in its extreme youth.

A nose more floral than fruity, leading Paul Wasserman to suggest it seemed to be whole cluster. (Mugnier destems every vintage.) Very elegant and subtle, this wine opens up nicely in the glass. A mineral component shows up and the fruit is more red than black. It’s a pretty light ruby color, with medium body. The balance is impeccable, the texture silky. Drinking brilliantly now, it will hold for at least a decade. But why wait?
