Musigny, Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 1993 Comte Georges de Vogüé (3 MAG)

Musigny, Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 1993  

Comte Georges de Vogüé  

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru 

u. 2x3.5cm, 1x5cm, 1 slightly scuffed capsule, 1 slightly oxidized capsule, 1 slight signs of seepage 

I think this is a candidate for decanting into one of those huge ballon-shaped Riedel carafes, as the great meaty character of the wine needs air to find all the explosive bouquet and flavour - it is even impressive the next day.  The meatiness is something of a 1993 trait and this is complemented by the dense undergrowth and cherry tastes.  Serena Sutcliffe, MW
