Reviews of purchase Joseph Drouhin, Musigny Grand Cru AOC 2008
Tasting Notes
Deep, rich ruby color.
Refined, harmonious, with nothing comparable to the taste of wine Musigny, which discloses all the superiority of Pinot Noir. In young wine feels light taste of cherries and notes of violets, but the real bouquet revealed only with age. Soft aftertaste.
Thin, but at the same time complex and multifaceted fragrance that conveys shades of fallen leaves, skin moisture and flavor of the earth moss.
Wine perfectly complements the taste of meat.
