    Fort d'expériences précédentes,j'ai décanté durant 3h avant dégustation et bien m'en a pris: un bouquet intense surgit du verre et commence une course de relais avec d'abord des notes florales,suivies de notes fruitées (cassis,cerise) puis des notes épices douces orientales pour terminer sur des notes empyreumatiques (café,chocolat).C'est réellement c'une complexité inouie...La bouche est vraiment sensationnelle avec les mêmes arômes qui virevoltent: c'est de la dentelle,de la soie,d'une élégance phénoménale pour terminer avec une persistance d'une douzaine de caudalies.Le parangon du pinot noir bourguignon.Une cuvée qui fait honneur à sa réputation et à son grand terroir majestueux !!!!

    Garnet with fading. Marvelous perfume with strawberry, herb, and a bit of gaminess. Not a big wine at all, but subtle, refined, and exceedingly complex. Red berry and cranberry, soil base, a touch of pepperiness, great acidity, and light remaining tannins. Whereas the 1990 was a mean, charmless wine, this is a magnificent, rather delicate mature Burgundy that should last well for another decade. These Vogüé wines need time-a lot of it.

    Shared with Xavier94: liquid concentrate of violets and lavender on the nose; deep black cherry, sage and menthol notes; thick and viscous, turns savory with an hour in the glass; typically overwrought Vogue, no subtlety here. Predictably more cerebral and contemplative than truly enjoyable. Drink now or through the next couple centuries.

    Holy cow, guessed this to be closer to 1999 than a ‘91!! As you would expect, this is notably unevolved but unlike the 1988 de Vogue, this shows more of a coated structure of black cherry/licorice/sage/menthol alliance that is less austere than other Vogue vintages under the Millet regime. Big, bold and spicy with smoked lavender scents over the hallmark dark fruit. Shows some dried herb, secondary development. But absolutely no undergrowth/sous bois hints yet. If you open a bottle, be prepared to spend some time with this, as this wines open out slowly over an afternoon-evening. Thank you, Joe. 94+.

    I was a little apprehensive bc this was purchased at auction and thought it could be past its prime. I got lucky this time.

    On the nose: at first, lots of funk and diaper as noted below. But this blew off after about 30 mins and was replaced by raspberry, liquorice, and a hint of thyme…then about an hour later came Christmas spices…clove and cinnamon, then finally sous bois + black pepper notes. Extremely fragrant! About 2 hours after opening it all came together.

    Palate: medium + acidity and relatively firm tannins for a 30+ year Musigny. Dare I say, I think this could go a few more years if stored well! Lots of red fruit with a velvety, long finish. Superb!

    (Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Vieilles Vignes) A vintage of hail, this was the 'two-week triage with tweezers' harvest. Only 15 hl/ha (Bonnes-Mares was down at 9!). I've read reports that this is not a typical Chambolle but on this performance it is a fantastic wine. Looks younger than the '88 Bonnes-Mares that precedes it, but despite both depth and an engaging complexity after the previous wines the nose is relatively understated. The palate is dense without being fat, well delineated and shows a little rasp to the the tannins in the finish - but it's a long and tasty finish. This wine still seems to speak of more to come in the future. Whilst the '99 certainly has an extra flourish on the finish, side-by-side I'm surprised to see a little more intensity to the fruit of this wine. Luckily I've tasted (actually drunk with dinner) this wine twice in just over a year and this was a consistent showing. Very fine wine.
