Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Musigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1998
Bright red-ruby. Brilliant aromas of strawberry, raspberry, cherry and bitter chocolate. Wonderfully intense, sharply delineated flavors of red berries, spices and mint; a wine of great density and verve, not to mention powerful structure for long life. A rare combination of silky texture and lightness of touch. Fabulous back end features utterly suave tannins and resounding, vibrant fruit. Stephen Tanzer

Oh my goodness, heaven in the glass, so pretty, and earthy at the same time. The power it still carried was impressive but the finesse was like quarter sleeve gloves worn by a beautiful woman! I wish I could drink more of this, so delicious!

Nice acid gives it lift. Interesting foil to the 90.

1998: Very perfumed nose. Polished on the palate. Completely approachable yet with reserve depth to keep this vintage cellar worthy. Black cherries evolving into a rose petal and slightly tarry aspect, that really indicated the natural human footbridge that can carry Burgundy lovers into the land of Barolo, albeit with less of a nod toward acidity and it's weird cousin, volatile acidity. A burden to acquire, a pleasure to have shared.

Was prepared to be disappointed and came away very pleased. Initial impressions of cherry/strawberry with savory, woodsy elements with finely resolves tannins. Bright acidity frames the long finish. Over time, more mocha notes appeared , yet the wine remained compelling. For me, this was perfectly evolved.

Still needed time and air after an 8 hour decant. Slowly opened to show well.
