Saturday lunch with Eddie (Masseria, DC): How often do you get to try the 57 Vogue Musigny twice?! Eddie thought the first bottle didn’t show well so he generously opens the second bottle with a better fill. Quite delicate but very complex nose displaying essence of raspberry, light caramel, dry apricot, strong sous bois, a hint of soy, grilled fat and earth. Fully integrated delicate palate, silky, fluid and airy, medium acidity, good earthy mineral and a seamless subtle red fruit and sous bois driven finish that subtly resonates. Fragile yet gorgeous showing.

Saturday lunch with Eddie (Masseria, DC): Slightly low fill. Shy nose displaying remnant of slightly dry shy red fruit, dry cherry, a hint of raspberry jam, raw button mushroom, sous bois and strong soy. Fully resolved palate, mostly faded red fruit, good acidity and a medium long finish with a hint of dry cherry and strong soy at the end. Past its prime but the faded yet very sweet fruit makes this enjoyable.

From a bottle with about 9cm of ullage, so not representative of all bottles. Volatile acidity and oxidization on the nose. Palate is sweet, touch simple, old and gracefully dying. As it evolved in the glass, it took on the smell of rotting roots in a forest floor.
