Quite dark-colored, Jadot's Musigny reveals touches of cinnamon and blackberries in its intensely floral nose. On the palate, this full-bodied, velvety-textured, powerful wine explodes with copious quantities of roasted herbs, coffee, blackberries and violets and has an admirable finish. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2012. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy in Washington, D.C. in April. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided. Overall, 1995 is another in a string of successful vintages for Jadot. If there is one negociant house consumers can feel comfortable buying blindly, vintage to vintage, it is Jadot. Importer: Kobrand Corp., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300
