Tasting notes
(from young Musigny vines) Medium red. Explosive, perfumed aromas of strawberry, raspberry and mocha, with a briary nuance. Wonderfully round on entry, then a bit unforthcoming in the middle palate. But offers rare sweet for the vintage, along with superb clarity of raspberry and mineral flavor. Finishes impressively long and subtle, with very fine tannins. Delicious wine, and a relative value in the context of these 2001s.

This is slowing transforming itself into a really lovely wine of weight, depth and intensity with a richly detailed, expressive nose and impressively pure and harmonious flavors that offer superb clarity of expression. This is a classical Burgundy lover's dream with linearity, purity, harmony and simply knock out delineation plus a subtle complexity that is finesse personified. Consistent notes and this is one of those wine that has such balance that it can easily be enjoyed now or held for further development. Personally, I would advise holding it for a few more years but as I note, it can certainly be drunk now with pleasure. Allen Meadows, Burghound Sep13,2009
Very pale bright ruby colour. Floral, red-bud aromas with a core of red cherry, forest floor and beets plus a dried-herb whiff. Medium+ acidity and a medium weight with moderate concentration. Soft silky tannins and a long finish. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, May 2010
