Very dark bright red. Great purity and lift to the aromas of black cherry, violet, graphite, bitter chocolate and minerals. Showing less obvious density today than the Bonnes-Mares but this is extremely tight and unevolved, with its saline crushed stone and mineral elements currently dominating its underlying fruit. The yield was just 20 hectoliters per hectare, due in large part to millerandage, but this extremely imploded Musigny is showing little of the early sweetness one might expect from tiny berries. Finishes with outstanding flavor authority, length and grip. This wine should go on for decades. (96+ Points) Score: 96 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com Maturity: 2027-2045 01 March 2016 |

This is also quite aromatically restrained with its cool, airy and extraordinarily complex nose that features notes of red raspberry, black cherry, violet, rose petal, Asian-style spices, in particular cinnamon and anise plus a hint of orange pekoe tea. There is superb concentration to the intensely stony and well-delineated broad-shouldered flavors that also brim with palate soaking dry extract that helps to buffer that imposingly powerful, tautly muscular and massively long finish. This is breathtaking in just how much power and intensity it packs yet there isn't a hair out of place. In a word, 'wow'! Score: 95 - 98 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2033+ 15 January 2015 |

The 2013 Musigny Vieilles Vignes is more immediate on the nose than the Bonnes-Mares, probably the first time I have observed this since I began tasting them side by side at the domaine. Here we have a smorgasbord of brambly red berry fruit intermixed with damp moss, fennel and broom. The palate is controlled from start to finish: filigree tannins, supreme focus and harmony with a gradual build toward the raspberry and wild strawberry finish that is laden with minerals. There is a sense of natural balance here, a Musigny with character and enigma. Score: 94 - 96 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2020-2045 01 December 2014 |
