1995 Comte
Georges de
Vogüé Musigny Vieilles Vignes - Grand Cru

Burgundy’s Comtes de Vogüé has long been one of my
favorite producers, although I find the wines often stubbornly slow in reaching
their optimal drinking phase. The 1995
Musigny (or at least, this specific bottle) is a case in point: very reticent
upon opening, with subdued black fruit aromas and flavors, it is most
expressive today on the finish, where the flavors are mesmerizingly mineral and
very precise. The limestone soils really shine through here! After about 20
minutes in the glass, the wine opens up slightly, offering a bit more fleshy
fruit and hints of orange peel and cocoa, but this leaves me with an overall impression
of austerity, in keeping with the ‘95 vintage. Although I doubt it will improve
further, this still relatively young Musigny will drink well for another 15
years. 91/Drinking window:
2014-2029.
