Don't miss! Very mild reduction reduces the expressiveness of the nose yet it is still relatively easy to discern that the dark berry fruit is ripe and nuanced by plenty of spice notes that can also be found on the rich and palate staining velvety flavors that possess imposing size and weight as well as a seemingly endless reserve of dry extract that buffers the firm tannic spine on the wonderfully long finish. This is a big yet balanced wine that possesses excellent energy with plenty of underlying tension and about the only nit is a hint of warmth on the powerful and driving finish. This should be most impressive in time if you have the patience to wait. Drink: 2026+

Full red-ruby. Reticent but pure aromas of blackberry, violet, minerals and bitter chocolate. Juicy, intense and densely packed, with a thickness of texture leavened by lively acidity and stony minerality. Not a particularly floral or delicate style of Musigny; on the contrary, this is quite marked by the warm year. Finishes long, with substantial dusty tannins. This will probably require a decade in the cellar.
