Deep, dark, saturated red. Knockout nose combines black cherry, black raspberry, minerals, graphite and licorice. Like liquid silk in the mouth, conveying great thickness of texture without any weight. Noble, utterly vibrant wine with near-perfect balance and a finish that mounts for two minutes or more. A sappy essence of Burgundy. Mugnier calls 2010 'Burgundy at its best,' and this wine makes his case. (Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Mar 2013, 98 Pts)
The 2010 Musigny is breathtaking. It is at once weightless yet full of flavor and dynamism. There is marvelous tension and sheer energy in the fruit, while certain elements of virility – especially in the tannin – seem to develop as the wine sits in the glass. Like all of the Mugnier wines, the Musigny is really a wine built on textural finesse and a certain elusiveness that asks more of the taster than it offers. It represents the height of sensuality and unknowable beauty in Burgundy. In many ways Mugnier's Musigny resembles Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's Romanée-Conti. No matter how much time I spend with the wine there is always more to discover. Drinking window: 2025-2045 (Anonio Galloni, Feb 2012, 96-98 Pts)
