1969 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY
Burghound | Rating: 91
A surprisingly fresh nose of spice and earth combines with medium weight, racy, pure, detailed flavors that deliver plenty of finishing richness and overall finesse, all wrapped in a touch of backend structure. This is drinking perfectly now and was decidedly better than expected as several prior bottles were only good if not better. For example, three bottles tasted in the last year were still good but clearly had seen their best days, scoring 88/immediately.Author: Allen Meadows
