Jacques Frederic Mugnier Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses 2004 Volume:750ML A more deeply pitched nose

A more deeply pitched nose displays a well-layered mix of both red and black pinot fruit along with notes of spice

this is not especially dense but it is both very complex and well-balanced

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Helms is sensational

Jacques Frederic Mugnier Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses 2004 Volume:750ML A more deeply pitched noseWhile there is a hint of vegetal on the now fully mature aromas of spicy secondary fruit, it does not materially detract from the overall aromatic appeal. I like the sense of verve to the delicious, round and lightly mineral inflected middle weight flavors that possess both grace and class on the moderately complex and balanced finale.
