Vogue Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2008 750mL Red Burg preserved plums and baked blueberries

preserved plums and baked blueberries scents with hints of cumin seeds

evocative of cherries and raspberries

the wine has shed a lot of its tannin and is just beginning to hit its plateau of full maturity where it should stay for another 15-25+ years

Made from very young vines planted on the steep hillsides above the Auberge du Soleil in Central Napa Valley

it still reveals a dense opaque purple color along with a potentially sensational bouquet of blueberries

Vogue Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2008 750mL Red Burg preserved plums and baked blueberries"The 2008 Musigny Vieilles Vignes is a wine I could smell all day. The explosive bouquet literally jumps from the glass, followed by deep, beautifully delineated layers of fruit. This shows terrific concentration and depth, dazzling finesse, and a nicely pointed, direct finish. It is an eternal wine." Wine Advocate, RP97 (AG), tasted 5 2011
