Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru 2005

(from Musigny vines up to 25 years old) Good deep red. Sappy, almost candied aromas of blueberry, spices and menthol. Deep, ripe, rich and classically dry; youthfully closed today despite its fat middle. This expands impressively on the back half, showing more power and thrust but less early perfume than the village wine.
