(young vine Musigny fruit up to 25 years of age - there will be a back label on the bottle to indicate the source of the grapes). Cool, reserved and supremely elegant nose of drop dead gorgeous pinot aromas and a mix of red and black fruits. It is already showing excellent complexity, fine intensity and very fine length, all the while exuding an unmistakable level of class and refinement. As Millet is fond of saying "this is short pants Musigny" and so it is. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes.

($100) Deep, bright red-ruby. Perfumed, fruit-driven aromas of black cherry, cassis, raspberry and flowers. Full, sweet and deep, with impressive volume and breadth. Began a bit closed in the middle, but opened to show a wonderfully lush texture. Finishes very long and fresh, with dusty, even tannins and solid structure. This is all Musigny, from the estate vines less than 25 years old. The best value in the cave

Vibrant medium-dense ruby colour with just a hint of orange. Still quite youthful on the nose with an abundance of ripe cherry fruit, warm cranberry, black pepper, violets, undergrowth and cassia. The palate is a little closed, very tight-knit with a medium+ level of fine grained tannins and a nice backbone of high acidity. Long finish.

Beautiful and structured, with plenty of fruit to back it up. Medium- to full-bodied, this displays deep color, good acidity and blackberries and cherries. Long finish, with plenty of silkiness and mineral. Class in a glass.
