Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 2015 750ml

Tasted blind, the 2015 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru was also showing extremely well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of ripe cherries, rose petal, dark chocolate, licorice and incense, displaying its framing of new oak a little more obviously than when I tasted it a few months ago. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and complete, with a rich chassis of firm but fine tannins, a deep??even dense??core of fruit and a long, lingering finish. Like the Bonnes Mares, this was immediately identifiable as a de Vog???? wine, but it spoke just as eloquently of Musigny. It's a cuv??e that always tastes spectacular from barrel, so it's wonderful to see it living up to expectations in bottle.
