  Epic night at Capasso. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of dark red cherries, black cherries, dark sweet spices, bit of earth and minerality. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ just about high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), structured medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of black cherries, dark red cherries, sweet dark spices, dark earth. Long spicy finish with some structure.
  Very good quality. Mini Musigny. Still room for more development.

  My impression is consistent with others posted here: Opened before leaving home for restaurant meal, to screen for TCA or other flaws. Deep, youthful bright color. Mute and dull nose; thin and marred by coarse tannins on palate. I grabbed a younger bottle of Volnay to take along as a backup, just in case this failed to improve.
  
  After about an hour’s aeration in Zalto Burgundy glasses, it’s an entirely different wine. Heady, effusive nose of blueberries and raspberries; the palate impression is wild fruit, huckleberries perhaps? Plenty of ripe fruit still with ample fine grained tannin at the back end. It remains a bit disjointed like a gangly adolescent — 15 years from the vintage this still has at least another five years to go before a plateau of reasonable maturity. Overall, it’s true to form: a baby Vogue Musigny.
  
  When I bought six of these some years back for about $100 a cork, the price seemed like a bit of a stretch. Would I pay around $400 a bottle or more for the wine today? No; although it seems people do.
  
  Addendum: About a quarter of this bottle sat in a cool dark spot outdoors for five days. Tasted tonight, it’s pretty much where it was on the day it was uncorked. The nose is a bit plummier, the fruit a bit darker toned, the tannins slightly more pronounced… but having evolved so little in five days, I’d say this wine has years to go in bottle before it will fully bloom.

  Opened in HK. Small glass generously shared by friend. Bottle had been open for a while.
  
  My first thought for this wine: 2009 declassified Vogüé Musigny? No chance, there's no way that this would be open.
  
  I was very pleasantly surprised. Red fruit and Chambolle terroir coming out. Still tight with masked tannins, but looser than I thought. Granted this had been open for quite a while, but it was still good to see some semblance of opening up. A lovely treat, thanks once again to JR!
  
  Of course, if you have these bottles, I'd recommend giving them another 10 years - I do believe that patience will be rewarded with upside. That being said, if you do open it now, I wouldn't hesitate to decant, or at least double decant before leaving in the bottle for a while to open up as best it can.

  Quite a wonderful Vogue that showed dark fruit, earth, herbs, charcoal and grilled meat. It was ripe and expressive with a rich but not overwhelming palate. 92-93
