Tasting Notes

98
Vinous Neal Martin - 08 Nov 22
The 1988 Musigny Grand Cru is one of the few vintages that I have not tasted (a sentence I thought I would never write). Containing 100% whole bunches, it has a stunning bouquet with blackberry, briary and wild hedgerow, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with perfect balance, a crescendo of flavours towards its ineffably complex finish. The length is just awesome, a Musigny that lives up to the billing. Just one barrel and one feuillette were made. Tasted at the Roumier 1988 dinner at Noizé.
