Neal Martin, December 2013, Score: 94-96
The 2012 Musigny Grand Cru comes from Prieur’s 0.77-hectare parcel located in the southern section of the grand cru close to Clos de Vougeot. This year it deigned the world with 9 barrels of which seven were new. It clearly has the most sophisticated, complex bouquet of the domaine’s reds in 2012 adorned with blackberry, raspberry leaf, creme de cassis, minerals and incense. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation. This has a firm backbone that lends this Musigny a sense of masculinity and sternness, a 2012 that demands you come back in 2022. Very focused with fine mineralite on the finish, this should be cellared away for a number of years. Finally, there is the small matter (literally) of what to my knowledge is one of the most elusive wines in Burgundy.

Burghound, April 2014, Score: 92-95
Strong reduction completely dominates the nose. By contrast there is good freshness and verve to the appealingly mineral-driven large-scaled flavors that are solidly well-concentrated which helps to buffer the very firm tannins on the long, austere and reasonably well-balanced finish. This is a bit awkward today but everything seems to be in place to allow for extended aging and unlike some of the wines in the range that will be accessible young, this isn't one of them.

Stephen Tanzer, March 2015, Score: 93+
(this fruit was harvested on September 25 at 13.1% potential alcohol): Full medium red. Complex aromas and flavors of dark fruits, spicy oak, flowers and pepper, plus a subtle element of truffley underbrush. Large-scaled, rich and surprisingly open-knit in the mouth, in a distinctly round, full style. This very suave, fine-grained Musigny is not yet showing the personality of the greatest examples of this grand cru, but the wine's substantial fine-grained, late-arriving tannins suggest it will evolve slowly and reward aging.
