Mugnier Musigny 2017 1.5L

"A superbly spicy if still surprisingly primary nose combines a wide range of elements that include maraschino cherry, raspberry, lavender, violet, tea and sandalwood as well as a hint of herbal tea character. The super-sleek yet almost painfully intense and powerful big-bodied flavors are shaped by impressively fine-grained tannins on the youthfully austere finish where the power does a slow build from the mid-palate. This is still very young but it's not so backward that it couldn't in a pinch be approachable with an hour or so in a decanter. With that said, I would advise continuing to hold for another 5 to 8 years or so. Overall, this is very classy juice, indeed it's a Musigny of evident distinction." - Burghound, BH95, tasted 1/2025
