Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Musigny Grand Cru Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2017

The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru is clearly darker in color than others and quite limpid. Intense black cherry, wild strawberry and cassis scents storm from the glass, nicely defined but primal and showing quite a bit of new oak at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, fleshy and generous. Quite sweet toward the finish, which is just missing a little depth and complexity considering the status of the vineyard, though it does gain cohesion and poise in the glass. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
