2005 MUSIGNY
Offered in original wooden case
Musigny Grand Cru--Vintage 2005
Côte de Nuits. French-bottled: Jadot
Tasting note: Both this years Bonnes Mares and the Jadot 2005 Musigny were fermented entirely with whole clusters. The latter exhibits a remarkable nose of black raspberry, kirsch, vanilla, incense, jasmin, as well as diverse mysterious forest floor and scintillating floral eminences. Incredibly rich and mouth-coating, it delivers a fabulously long finish of distilled fruit intensity and velvety richness, yet with face-slapping freshness and palpable chalkiness. Brown spices, flowers, and mineral nuances ride a crest of pure, sweet, positively viscous fruit, completely burying the wines tannins. Dont get your hopes up: only around 50 cases of this will be bottled. (95-97) points. David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate #171, June 2007.
