2000 Musigny, JF Mugnier

2 Feb 2010: Very closed nose.  It needed 2+ hours of decanting to start revealing its gorgeous nose and palate of floral, herbal, smoke and mocha, with just a tiny hint of jammy character initially.  Quite a beauty, perhaps a little too young to pull the cork, but a wine of remarkable effort.  Balanced and harmonious.  This wine didn't quite have the vigour, structure and concentration of a Musigny from a great vintage but it was certainly a well-made and balanced wine that deserved a fair bit of attention.  Drinking better with a 2 - 3 more years of cellaring....18/20
