The extraordinary 2002 Musigny Vieilles Vignes will most likely not have as much cellaring potential as the great 1949, 1959, or 1990, yet qualitatively is in the same league as those jewels from the past. It sports a profound nose of red cherries, spices, candied raspberries, and hints of oak. This noble, concentrated, refined wine reveals loads of flowers intermingled with red as well as black fruits in its complex personality. Unlike the bold, chewy, hyper-concentrated 1990, this is a feminine wine, a work of art with exquisite tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Incredible depth of fruit. Brooding, succulent, blue gnarly black fruit. Great depth and purity. Sweetness at the edges and long. Lucious and gorgeous.

Wonderful plum and soft blackcurrant and leathery dark blue fruit. Delicate and haunting but with a great persistence and fruit. Wow. Still very young.

Maybe just going through an awkward period did seem to have the balance of the 1955.

Delicious, with lovely precision and definition in the fruit. A good time to be drinking it. The wine will age longer, but it's in a good place now.

Sublime. My WOTN. More developed than the ‘99s. Not as light as the ‘96 Mugnier Musigny. Lovely ripe fruits. In the zone.
