1990 Maison Joseph Drouhin Musigny Grand Cru

My second encounter with the 1990 Musigny Grand Cru from Domaine Joseph Drouhin was similar to the first. Dark berry fruit, something almost animally and feral on the nose albeit in a positive sense, later more chestnut aromas filter through on the nose. The palate has retained that sweet core of leathery red fruit, soft in texture, and while missing the complexity of other vintages, there is good weight on the finish and a pleasant gaminess on the aftertaste. Tasted November 2016.
