(95-98 points) Like the Amoureuses this too is kaleidoscopically spicy with its broad-ranging nose of red cherry, cassis, plum, violet, Asian-style tea, sandalwood and hoisin. The velvety and mouth coating imposingly-scaled and intense mineral-driven flavors are also blessed with seemingly endless reserves of dry extract that coat the palate on the highly seductive finish that delivers fantastically good length on the youthfully austere, backward and immaculately well-balanced finale. This too is going to require a very long snooze in a very cool cellar but it should be a remarkable Musigny when it emerges.

Subtle cherry nose with black fruits. More brooding and restrained than Bonnes Mares, becoming more heady with aeration. Sleek attack, again less forthright than Bonnes Mares, but with an irresistible, velvety character that overrides the firm tannins. Fresh acidity enlivens the finish, which is polished, spicy, and very long. There's real grandeur which can only amplify with time. (Drink between 2021-2042)

Full dark saturated purple. Good intensity of fruit but not quite as immediately classy as its neighbours. Very dense weight of fruit on the palate, a certain firmness of structure behind, perhaps the barrel, but the fruit wins through behind.

The 2015 Musigny was just finishing up its racking at the time of our visit, but the cask that had been racked two days previous was showing fairly well and gave a good read on the ultimate potential of this young wine. The nose offers up a very pure and sappy constellation of red and black cherries, plums, raw cocoa, gamebird, a complex base of soil tones, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and again, very sappy at the core, with marvelous delineation and nascent complexity, fine-grained tannins and bright acids adding lift and energy on the very, very long, vibrant finish. A great Moose in the making.

96+ Tasted blind, the 2015 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru was also showing extremely well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of ripe cherries, rose petal, dark chocolate, licorice and incense, displaying its framing of new oak a little more obviously than when I tasted it a few months ago. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and complete, with a rich chassis of firm but fine tannins, a deep—even dense—core of fruit and a long, lingering finish. Like the Bonnes Mares, this was immediately identifiable as a de Vogüé wine, but it spoke just as eloquently of Musigny. It's a cuvée that always tastes spectacular from barrel, so it's wonderful to see it living up to expectations in bottle. - William Kelley
