MUSIGNY, CUVEE VIEILLES VIGNES 1990 COMTE GEORGES DE VOGUE |

Musigny, Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 1990 Comte Georges de Vogüé Côte de Nuits, Grand CruLot 8616: Slightly cellar-soiled labels, slightly wrinkled capsules, excellent levels, color and clarity, Lot 8617: Slightly cellar-soiled and slightly scuffed labels, 2 slightly raised corks, 1 slightly sunken cork, excellent levels, color and clarityThis wine has evolved slowly and it now looks as if it still has some way to go, given its concentration, dose of new wood and dense texture. The smoky black fruit is very tightly-knit, displaying flavours of Burgundian undergrowth as well as a certain reined-in reserve which breaks down as the dinner party progresses, reflecting the mood of the guests!
