Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 2011 from Mugnier has a very complex bouquet that is less sensual than de Vogüé’s, but it is still extremely well defined with noticeable stem-like character infusing and lending freshness to the dense blackberry and boysenberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine and supple tannins. The acidity here is well judged and there is good backbone towards the finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a class act but it needs another 4 or 5 years and then it will really get into its stride.

Deep, bright red. Closed but pure nose hints at pepper, spices, herbs and soil. Tougher and less fruity than the Bonnes-Mares, with more obvious tannins currently cutting off the wine's finish. Distinctly darker in character than the Amoureuses, with the notes of spices, herbs and pepper carrying through on the palate and on the powerful, firmly tannic aftertaste. Quite uncompromising today but vibrant and very young.
In somewhat stark contrast to the Amoureuses there is lovely freshness to the ripe but airy nose that is wonderfully broad with its aromas of red and black currant, violet and exotic tea aromas. There is a brilliant mouth feel as the structured yet incredibly fine large-scaled flavors convey a real sense of power and muscle but it's delivered with the grace of a ballerina on the hugely long mocha-infused finish. This reminds me a bit of the 2000 Musigny that drank well young and is still drinking well today.
The embodiment of pure sensuality, the 2011 Musigny is supremely beautiful. Balance, symmetry and a total sense of finesse are the calling cards. The silkiest of tannins support a finish laced with bright red fruit, rose petals, spices and dried herbs.
