Toast, cafe au lait, roasting spices, and dark fruits are found in the aromatic profile of the 2003 Musigny. Chunky, dense, and broad on the attack, this medium-bodied, silky-textured effort reveals black cherries and blackberries as well as a firm tannin-filled finish. While outstanding, it appeared to lack the concentration of fruit and amazingly prolonged finishes of Mme. Leroy’s top 2003s. Projected maturity: 2008-2015.
