I was aware this wine has a much maligned reputation. This bottle was from an original case with slightly low fills though not inconsistent with the age. Nose was very floral with a bit of sous bois. The palate immediately took me to chambolle and 85. Soft, elegant and complex. Had the ripeness of the vintage but a cool rather than overt power which i like. Full of finesse and grace. Exceeded all expectations and many people's WOTN with the 96 Leroy RSV. Probably under-rated this slightly due to many disappointments by Vogue wines throughout the years but I look forward to try it again.

Valentine's Day dinner with veal sweetbreads. Amazing. The last time I tried this wine (about a decade ago) I thought it was delicate and, though Grand Cru quality, it wouldn't really stand the test of time. Boy was I wrong. This bottle was spectacular. Rich, complex, layered and lingering. Coffee and ripe fruits. Sorry it was my last bottle!

Not my style at all. Dry, woody and harsh with alcohol coming through on all sides.

Six Decades of de Vogüé Musigny: 2013 to 1969 (Vaucluse): Coffee nose Comparable to that on the ‘77. Highly expressive and showy. Palate is rich and has more coffee. Has some brambly sauvage.
