J.F. Mugnier Musigny 1999
Cote de Nuits
"Tasting note: (opened from personal storage; also with thanks to Geddy Lee). A highly expressive, indeed even explosive nose offers up wonderfully pure spice and me[n]thol-infused black cherry fruit aromas that complement elegant, sexy and beautifully refined medium-weight flavors that are underpinned by velvet wrapped tannins and stunning persistence. Though this is not what I would call a dense wine, it has a finish that lasts for minutes and exudes energy and vibrancy plus the impeccable balance should permit the '99 Musigny to drink well for a long, long time. A terrific wine that clearly is still on its way up so assuming that you have well-stored bottles, there should be no concern about missing the prime drinking window. All of that said, this could be enjoyed now with 30 minutes or so of air and the right food. I have multiple, and consistent, notes." Burghound, 95 pts. 10/12
