2005 Domaine Comte de VogÌ_̩ Musigny Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes

A very pure, ebullient, multi-faceted nose of wild strawberry, raspberry, white flowers and citrus fruits, but very mercurial, becoming slightly flinty and minerally with aeration, then more peachy and sorbet in style. Decidedly understated on the entry, you wonder what all the fuss is about, but this wine just builds and builds. Beautifully knit tannins, perfect acidity with beguiling purity and minerality. More feminine than I predicted, but wow, what a wine this is going to be. The finish simply refuses to ebb. Drinking 2015-2040. Tasted January 2007. (NM)
