Crushed herbs, lots of black and red fruits, earth and mushroom, and complex floral notes. Full bodies, complexly layerd red and black fruits, well-refined acidity, delicate minerals and huge structural components. Ready for drink and this beauty can last more than 15 years as its peak.

From a pristine bottle and double decanted about 2 hours prior to serving. A rich concentrated wine full of red cherry fruits and balanced perfectly by uplifiting acidity. Long and dense with lots of nuanced flavors. Perhaps not as floral as I would have dreamed for a classic Musigny, but otherwise a seriously delicious mouthful of wine with years and years to go. For J's 70th and quite sadly my last bottle.

(Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Cuvée Vieilles Vignes) Medium dark cherry red color; oak, cherry, black cherry, berry nose; rich, elegant, tight yet, tart cherry, baked cherry palate with increasingly integrated oak; medium-plus finish
(Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Cuvée Vieilles Vignes) Dark red violet color; voluptuous cherry, ripe red fruit nose; solid cherry and minerals palate, with depth, structure and sweet tannins, but lacking in acidity; medium-plus finish
(Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Cuvée Vieilles Vignes) Fresh, penetrating caramel nose; delicious smoky red fruit and cherry with hoisin sauce palate; long finish 95+ pts.
(Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Vieilles Vignes) Medium, medium-plus cherry-red. A melange of fruit greets the first sniff, the aromatics are in a similar vein to de Vogüé's '99 Amoureuses, the palate however, has another level of structure and concentration: it's not obvious at first taste as you're assaulted by such a bewildering array of sensations, but it's very obvious when you move back. Despite the density there is no undue fat, many unfurling layers and tannins that wrap your teeth in velvet. Whilst today I prefer the expression of fruit on the nose of the '99 Amoureuses, I simply can't imagine how good this wine will become. I'm not tempted to try it before it's 15th birthday though. Very special.

Floral, coffee, reduction. Sweet, medium length.
