The 2013 Musigny Vieilles Vignes is more immediate on the nose than the Bonnes-Mares, probably the first time I have observed this since I began tasting them side by side at the domaine. Here we have a smorgasbord of brambly red berry fruit intermixed with damp moss, fennel and broom. The palate is controlled from start to finish: filigree tannins, supreme focus and harmony with a gradual build toward the raspberry and wild strawberry finish that is laden with minerals. There is a sense of natural balance here, a Musigny with character and enigma.
