2008 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Musigny Grand Cru Cuvee Vieilles Vignes

Semi translucent crimson red colour with crimson mauve hue. The nose displays aromas of violets, dark cherries, dried meats and spice. Lighter bodied the palate delivers flavours of dark and sour cherries, spice, dried meat and earth but is seemingly missing the magnificent power wave of flavours expected from Grand Cru houses. Dry finish with fine grained tannins. Aftertaste of dark cherries, gamey dried meat and spice.
Cellar 5-6 years (2016-2017).
Alc 12.5%

Other Reviews….
The 2008 Musigny Vieilles Vignes is a wine I could smell all day. The explosive bouquet literally jumps from the glass, followed by deep, beautifully delineated layers of fruit. This shows terrific concentration and depth, dazzling finesse, and a nicely pointed, direct finish. It is an eternal wine. Anticipated maturity: 2023-2048.
