01 Gros Frere et Soeur, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru "Musigni"

From the revered upper end of the Clos, adjacent to the elegant Musigny grand cru from where it takes its name, the 2001 pinot has round aromas of watermelon, exotic cardamom/curry, black pepper, sweet cinammon, and good cheesy funk. Pretty's always had a good reputation. But, with closed, tart tastes of cherries and red grapes, the wine is very singular right now.
