MUSIGNY, CUVEE VIEILLES VIGNES 1945 COMTE GEORGES DE VOGUE |

Musigny, Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 1945 Comte Georges de Vogüé Côte de Nuits, Grand Cruu. 7.5cm, heavily scuffed, wine-stained, and partially torn label, scuffed and corroded capsule, good color and clarityLast tasted from magnum, but it was rather large so I deduce that it was actually bottled in a Champagne magnum. So spicy, so rich, so soft, sweet and opulent. And that was only the bouquet. On the palate, earthy, glorious, rich and powerful. Velvet textured, with a finish of tobacco leaves. What can one say, other than I wish it was my birthday every day! Serena Sutcliffe, MW1 bt (cn)Estimates are per lot
