Robert Parker - (91-93) Points

"Jacques-Frederic Mugnier does not like new oak flavors or traits so he only used 20% new barrels on his 2002 Musigny. Its sumptuous aromatic profile is composed of sweet violets entwined with red cherries. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine offers soft layers of red fruits, stones, and spices. Seamless, focused, and nuanced, its fleshy personality lingers in the finish. Projected maturity: 2005-2015."

Antonio Galloni - 97 Points

"Medium red. Immediately spectacular aromas of raspberry, baked bread and white truffle. Silky, thick and highly concentrated; densely packed, sappy and wonderfully sweet but seemed to go into a shell after five minutes in the glass. Finishes with a savory note of olive, almost invisible tannins and explosive length. A great showing today, although I can easily imagine this wine continuing to gain in aromatic precision and lift for another ten years."
