Moderate bricking. The attractively complex nose has now gone entirely secondary in character and there are even notes of sous-bois in evidence along with plenty of spice and dried flower elements. There is good richness and punch to the concentrated and powerful medium weight plus flavors that exhibit plenty of minerality on the still slightly tannic and slightly tough finish where a touch of dryness appears that is just enough to detract from the overall sense of balance. I have had this a number of times over the years (though only once since 2012) and it seems as though the dryness is slowly becoming more pronounced and as such I would suggest drinking this up over the next few years though I underscore that there is no rush.

The day I tasted the dark-colored Musigny, it was extremely muted aromatically. On the palate it revealed tightly wound (almost nervous), super-delineated and polished fresh cherries, cassis and violets. Medium-to-full bodied, supple and very long, it is obviously an outstanding wine but it is closed. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2010.
