2002 Musigny

Jacques-Frederic Mugnier does not like new oak flavors or traits so he only used 20% new barrels on his 2002 Musigny. Its sumptuous aromatic profile is composed of sweet violets entwined with red cherries. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine offers soft layers of red fruits, stones, and spices. Seamless, focused, and nuanced, its fleshy personality lingers in the finish. Projected maturity: 2005-2015. Jun 2004, www.robertparker.com
