1985 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes
2/8/2024 - vinhslee Likes this wine: 99 Points
On the nose, it has complex notes of sesame, hazelnut, along with the usual notes of puligny montrachet.
On the palate, it has wonderfully harmonised notes of honey, nuts, sesame, white flowers and the lot. It doesn't have the grand cru length or intensity, the roasted sesame notes of Leflaive's BMs, the pronounced floral notes of les pucelles, nor the marked minerality of CM, but it has almost all other flavours you would expect of a top puligny montrachet.
Sensational stuff.

1962 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Cuvée Vieilles Vignes

From magnum.
Very cloudy on appearance, which is expected of an old wine.
On nose, it has waves of dark fruits, rose petals and forest floor. On the palate, it is simply phenomenal. It is obviously sweet, but not sweetened. The mixed berries and rose petal notes keep on reverberating, and are nicely balanced by the vibrant underlying acidity. The fruits / sweetness combo is very lush but without being over-the-top. For the first 2-3 hours, there is almost everything I could ask for but nothing is in excess. The fruits only starts to recede thereafter.

Gets better with some air, quite complex and has slightly mature notes. Better to start drinking now.
