Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue - Musigny Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes - 2010

A highly spiced and intensely floral nose evidences hints of violet, lilac and lavender along with notes of both red and black pinot fruit, earth and stone hints that continue onto the pure and silky broad-shouldered flavors that also possess a powerful yet almost delicate mouth feel. This is a very interesting wine as the dense tannins are so fine-grained that the palate impression is like the finest satin. The driving minerality adds another element and there is a palpable sense of energy to the balanced, focused and beautifully well-delineated finish that explodes with mouth coating dry extract. While certainly built to age, this will perhaps be ready before certain other recent vintages. Don't miss! 93-96 Points, Drink 2025+. Burghound
