1990 Musigny Vieilles Vignes

The Musigny-Vieilles Vignes possesses a nearly opaque purple color, as well as a closed but highly promising nose of cassis, licorice, new oak, flowers, and minerals. In the mouth, there is significant body, a formidable structure, outstanding richness and extraction of fruit, and vivid purity and definition in the long, tannic finish. This should prove to be a profound Musigny, but patience is advised. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2020. Oct 1992, www.robertparker.com
