2012 Domaine Gros Frere et Soeur Clos Vougeot Grand Cru "Musigni"

One of my favorite producers is Domaine Gros Fr̬re & Soeur. The style of the property is pretty straightforward: Big, rich and ripe fruit with a healthy dose of new oak. In good vintages, the wines of Gros Fr̬re are voluptuous, bordering exotic. His wines drink and show well young, which is another reason I really like this property‰ÛÓas patience is not one of my virtues. The 2012 Musigni is a serious wine, jam- packed with intense fruit, lots of spicy undertones, hints of bacon fat, smoke and black cherry fruit. This wine shows quite a bit of structure and power, so you might want to put it in the cellar for 5-10 years.
