Tasting notes
Deep medium red. Red berries and orange peel lifted by a peppery nuance. Sweet, supple, broad and fleshy; quite suave and feminine compared to the brooding Bonnes-Mares, but there's plenty of sap and concentration here. Very harmonious and long on the finish, with a fine dusting of tannins. Today the Bonnes-Mares seems a tad deeper and more serious. Roumier describes this Musigny as "like the Amoureuses but with more intensity."

Medium red. Highly perfumed spicy, peppery, floral nose. Then dense, sweet and rather uncompromisingly dry, with excellent concentration for a 2004. But this comes across as less lush and sweet than the Bonnes-Mares. This was vinified with whole clusters and today the wine's tannins give it a slight dry edge. Will this wine ultimately match the Bonnes-Mares for force?
