Musigny 2016 Drouhin, Joseph

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (96)

The 2016 Musigny Grand Cru was picked on 29 September with 30% whole cluster. It remained quite introverted in my glass despite vigorous coaxing, with woodland and fern infusing the red berry fruit, a little static and less flamboyant than maybe the best Musignys. Holding something back for later? I think so. The palate is well balanced and seems to shrug off the travails of the growing season more than the nose, thanks to its gorgeous, pure black plum and blackcurrant fruit and the spicy, black pepper and clove note furnishing the sustained finish. This is an impressive Musigny that will unequivocally age in consummate style.
