Lot #286. Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 1976

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 93 NM.
". . . the 1976 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru showed very well when encountered in Burgundy. Showing commensurate bricking on the rim for its age, it has a sense of warmth on the nose (vestiges of that mercilessly hot summer), with warm bricks/terracotta intermingling with decayed red fruit, tobacco and undergrowth. The palate was fresher than I expected and displayed more finesse than some of the more lauded wines of the 1980s. I liked the balance and harmony on display, the roundness on the sensual, old-fashioned but engaging finish. It is simply a lovely old Musigny. Tasted June 2017." Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #232, Aug 2017
Notes: 3.5cm, lightly corroded capsule, lightly bin soiled, lightly scuffed, nicked label.
