Vinous: 95+ Points
Bright dark red. Distinctly cooler and more medicinal on the nose than the Amoureuses. Spicier and tighter on the palate showing some exhilarating high tones and a hint of medicinal herbs but less of the premier cru's early sweetness and sex appeal. In a more muscular style yet it conveys an impression of weightlessness in spite of its outstanding density. More salty and soil-inflected on the finish than the Amoureuses with a powerful tannic spine that should carry it for a long time. This could hardly be more different than the Amoureuses today. (Drink between 2025-2043)
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
Released only late last year Mugnier's 2013 Musigny Grand Cru is still far from true maturity but it has at least begun a graceful evolution unwinding in the glass with scents of exotic spices red berries orange rind rose petals potpourri and sweet soil tones. Full-bodied ample and velvety with powdery melting tannins and lively acids the cool late harvest has imparted a cool crystalline purity to its deep core of fruit. Long and sapid ideally one would forget it for another decade to see it at the beginning of what will be a long plateau of maturity.

Still a fine glowing deep red just a hint of secondary characteristics even future forest floor not massive intensity. Pretty touch of spices red fruit with some orange blossom notes. Open since this morning but relatively approachable.
