Dominique Laurent Musigny 1999 750mL

"Deep, bright ruby. Knockout nose combines sappy blackberry, black raspberry, blood orange, violet, gunmetal, cocoa powder and minerals. Boasts near-confectionery sweetness but the ripe acids give the flavors an urgent quality and compelling verve. Shows its great power on the palate-staining, very firm finish, which is currently dominated by sheer tannic structure." - Vinous, AG94+ (ST), tasted 3/2001
