Laced with black cherry and blackberry fruit, this juicy red picks up violet, iron, spice and toast flavors. A muscular frame holds everything together, as this leans more to the Morey side than the Musigny side. Best from 2022 through 2040. — B.S.

(BH91-93 points) A difficult nose is composed of wood toast, menthol and reduction. There is good volume, focus and power to the velvet-textured middle weight plus flavors that exhibit plenty of minerality on the complex if moderately drying and disjointed finale. As was the case with many of the wines in the range, there is a lot of gas present so my predicted range extends the benefit of the doubt. 2029+

(WA91-93 points) The 2014 Musigny Grand Cru consists of two barrels this year, both new oak. It has a broody bouquet at first that gently opens up with small black cherries, wilted violets and a touch of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, not soft in the mouth but it feels round and fluid. I wonder if it just needs a little more tannic backbone on the finish here, perhaps a little more tension. I think some whole bunch might have added something to this Musigny. Let's see how it performs in bottle. - Neal Martin
