Joseph Drouhin Musigny 2014

96 pts Burghound

A broad-ranging and more expressive nose consists of a wonderful range of spice elements together with notes of black tea, earth and floral hints. There is strikingly good intensity and real power to the overtly muscular big-bodied flavors that ooze a fine dry extract that imparts a suave, even velvety mouth feel to the robust finale that also delivers superb persistence. As the best examples of Musigny always are, this delivers that inimitable combination of power and finesse and in doing so deserves the high compliment of being a 'wow' wine.

Good medium red. Knockout, exotic, high-pitched perfume of raspberry, blood orange, peach and spices; smells delicious already! Pure silky elegance in the mouth; wonderfully intense, fine-grained and aromatic, with an impression of weightlessness. For such a seamless wine, this Musigny boasts terrific energy and lift. This very suave, supple wine from a fairly full crop really vibrates on the finish. Véronique Drouhin predicts that this wine will never really shut down in bottle.
