(from young vines Musigny, first introduced in 1995) Seductively spicy, black cherry fruit and harmonious, detailed, and beautifully balanced, almost lush flavors that are rich, long, wonderfully persistent and display notes of licorice and clove. This is really lovely stuff in a medium weight, very intense, relatively powerful style.

($131; from young Musigny vines) Good bright red. Roasted yet sappy aromas of raspberry and chocolate; with aeration, this seemed less oaky. Silky-smooth and round in the mouth; at once sweeter and firmer than the village wine. Seemed to lack verve at the outset but grew increasingly juicy and suave with aeration, showing more shape and structure. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins and very good length.

Very pale ruby colour. Warm strawberry and preserved raspberry fruit with some white pepper, coriander seed and loam. A little leather. The palate is approaching maturity with flavours going into the dried fruit range and the low to medium level of tannins are softening into a powdery texture. Medium to high acidity and a long finish.
