Sadly, badly corked. Again. I've seen Voge's bottlings from the 80's and 90's suffer this more often than any other Rhone producer I can recall. Whatever decisions made in cork selection, purchase and storage compromised his ability to translate the quality of his old vine, tiny berry serine plantings into enjoyment.

2007 France Trip - Yann Chave, Rousset (Northern Rhone): Enticingly perfumed, smoky mushroom nose. Soy and green olive tepenade. Meat, olives, soy, and mushrooms to go along with smoky, well-integrated black fruit. Wonderfully refined and silky in the mouth. With some additional time, a black cherry/mineral component began to emerge. Amazingly good – wow!

Bacterial problems; swampy, sewer aromas. Bad luck, second in a row this evening.
