A beautiful, fragrant, earthy and hedonistic wine in its own right, but next to the superior ‘12 CLB Reignots this was clearly outclassed on the terroir, vintage, and winemaking style that elevated the latter to a new realm. This was still an immense pleasure to drink as the new Louis-Michel style was evident in the vintage.

Fantastic wine, big, fruity and earthy plus an incredible perfume - unfortunately it was up against absolute beasts on a night with multiple CLBs and 90s Engel CDV/Fourrier CSJ and shook out at average instead of WOTN which it would have been on almost any other night.

@ Nougatine Jean-George’s NYC. This is literally in the perfect spot for Baby Muz (noted on the 15-20 year from vintage peak window for future reference). A seductive, Amoureuses-like nose with just enough darkness and spice to remind you this is indeed from the Musigny side. Ultra-fine tannins gripping like miniature sandpaper throughout the mouth. A lovely and measures secondary fruit dominates. What really made this one special was towards the final pours a new, reinvigorated bite of almost chili pepper spice emerges for a last bite - extremely exotic. I found this better than many younger Vogue VVs which probably just means these demand 25-30 years of bottle age to shine.
