Domaine G. Roumier 1978 Musigny – Grand Cru

What a treat it is to taste Roumier’s 1978 Musigny. Autumn leaves, pipe tobacco, mint, licorice and sweet
red cherries all lift from the glass in a gorgeous, fully mature Burgundy that
captivates all the senses. Mid-weight, silky and gracious, the 1978 is
exceptionally beautiful. The fruit fades, fast however, and the wine is never
better than the minute it is opened. At this point, there is no further upside
to be gained from further cellaring. Readers fortunate enough to own the 1978
should serve it immediately upon opening, as it is quite fragile. But those
first 30 minutes, well they represent the kind of magic only Burgundy can
deliver.&nbsp;94 points.<img alt="" src="https://allgrapes.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads%2F1421685450718-Roumier+Musigny+-+vinous.jpg"> --Antonio Galloni
