Very dark bright red. Great purity and lift to the aromas of black cherry, violet, graphite, bitter chocolate and minerals. Showing less obvious density today than the Bonnes-Mares but this is extremely tight and unevolved, with its saline crushed stone and mineral elements currently dominating its underlying fruit. The yield was just 20 hectoliters per hectare, due in large part to millerandage, but this extremely imploded Musigny is showing little of the early sweetness one might expect from tiny berries. Finishes with outstanding flavor authority, length and grip. This wine should go on for decades.Vinous Media | 96+ VM(Domaine Comte de Vogüé Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Red) This is also quite aromatically restrained with its cool, airy and extraordinarily complex nose that features notes of red raspberry, black cherry, violet, rose petal, Asian-style spices, in particular cinnamon and anise plus a hint of orange pekoe tea. There is superb concentration to the intensely stony and well-delineated broad-shouldered flavors that also brim with palate soaking dry extract that helps to buffer that imposingly powerful, tautly muscular and massively long and youthfully austere finish. This is breathtaking in just how much power and intensity it packs yet there isn’t a hair out of place. In a word, ’wow’! (Drink starting 2033)Burghound | 96 BH(Musigny “Vieilles Vignes”- Domaine de Comte de Georges de Vogüé) The 2013 Musigny “Vieilles Vignes” from Domaine de Comte de Georges de Vogüé is a great wine in the making. The pure, primary and still beautifully complex nose wafts from the glass in a constellation of red and black cherries, sweet plums, violets, peonies, cocoa powder, a very complex base of soil, hints of the iron to come, woodsmoke, mustard seed and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very, very transparent this year, with a superb core, ripe, beautifully integrated tannins, vibrant acids and a very, very long, focused and classic finish. All this beauty needs is time in the cellar! (Drink between 2025-2075)John Gilman | 96 JGServed blind, the 2013 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru from Comte de Vogüé wore its pedigree on its sleeve, opening in the glass with a superb bouquet of wild strawberries, rose, cherry, blood orange and plum—much like it did in barrel. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and layered, with succulent acids, a deep mid-palate and a sapid, mineral-laden finish. Pure and transparent, this is a beautifully elegant Musigny that should be comparatively approachable in another 5 or 6 years.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 95 RP
