Note di degustazione
The ’98 feels broader on the palate than the ’99, textually brilliant and packed full of earthy flavours and dried clove spice. Good glycerol fatness to the palate adds weight and breadth. Tremendous intensity and acidity and tannins give a terrific hold on the palate giving a great framework to the palate. Very savoury, very earthy. Excellent.

The 1998 Musigny Grand Cru veers toward darker fruit on the nose compared to other vintages, coming across quite broody, following in the footsteps of the 1999; scents of bilberry and autumn leaves are accompanied by a subtle marine influence that becomes accentuated with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, and quite structured though less burly than the 1996. Conservative, not flamboyant, this is a “correct” Musigny with a liberal dash of brown spices on the aftertaste. Very fine, though it could benefit from a little more flair and charm. Tasted at the Drouhin Musigny vertical in London.
