9.3

Soft and faded at the edges. Pretty, delicate cherry, some drying notes. Hints of tea at the edges but persistent pure light aged fruit in the midpalate. Haunting. Lovely and composed. — 3 months ago

Perhaps there’s no more of a polarizing producer in Burgundy than de Vogüé. The 2008 Musigny was served blind, yielding calls from Dujac Bonnes Mares to Drouhin Amoureuses to actually, correctly Vogüé Musigny. The 2008 showed a lot of oak presence and doesn’t have the typical power of Musigny. But what it lacks in power it makes up for in elegance.

It needed a great deal of air, and it often went back and forth from being shut to then being highly expressive and even wafting from the glass, detectable from a good distance away. There is great focus, concentration and intensity, with a long and gripping finish. Very enjoyable, but I think it needs more time to absorb the oak and balance itself out in order to truly reach its potential. — 3 years ago

great notes. I was busy eating as much Normandy butter as I could.

Conrad Green

Ah… the small mountain of immaculate butter. That and the baguette alone would be a treat of a meal. It was lovely to share a dinner with you after so long.

Alan Weinberg

Yes—hope next time is sooner and seating closer so we can share a few laughs.
