Tasting notes
(13.1% alcohol; vinified with two-thirds whole clusters): Full medium red. Expressive, deep scents of black raspberry, mocha, licorice and minerals. Utterly silky, seamless Musigny with a bulletproof quality to its berry, spice and mineral flavors--and yet I sensed I was seeing just the tip of the iceberg. Builds inexorably on the back end, saturating the palate with dusty minerality. Only the very best wines of this finish can match this one for depth of flavor, finesse of texture and nobility of tannins.

The 2015 Musigny Grand Cru has a bouquet that will make you want to cry (with joy). It has astonishing purity, waves of pure red berry fruit tinged with minerals, hints of blood orange developing. There is astonishing focus here, even compared to all the vintages I have been lucky enough to taste from barrel since 2002. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, a perfect symmetry, sorbet-like freshness with orange sorbet infusing the fruit that leans towards dark cherry and raspberry on the finish. It reminds me of the 2005 Musigny from barrel. It might be even better. This may represent the peak of the 2015 Burgundy vintage: just one barrel and a quarter for the world.
