Beguiling aromas of blueberries, red cherries, raspberries, violets, and roses explode from the glass of the 2003 Musigny (my notes read “unreal aromatic depth!”). Medium-bodied and velvety-textured, this supple gem is filled with jammy red and blue fruits. Lush, sensual, and plump, it reveals a trace of alcoholic warmth in the finish and isn’t quite as long as the Bonnes Mares or Amoureuses.
Mid ruby jewelly red. Much less immediately fragrant than the 2004 – a certain meatiness, with sweetness on the palate. Much less perfume than usual at this address. I would keep this awhile to see whether it develops aromatically.
