Dinner with Carey at Country Club Grillroom: While it still reflected the hardness of the vintage i thought this bottle was in a great place with a really nice nose, sweet pruney fruit and lots of iron. Not particularly long or deep to be profound and finished with dusty tannins. held up well over 2 hours. given what people say about vogue's wines in the late 70s and 80s i thought this was a pleasant surprise.

Very pretty and sweet aromatics, more expressive than either of the '83s, but very hollow to taste and really showing its bones. It's not aggressively dry, just not much material to offer.

Burg OL in Antwerp (t'Fornuis, Antwerp): Interesting and drinking nicely, but hard to assess in comparison with the 2 Musignys... strong and powerful, backward and less approachable than the Musignys.
