Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue 2021 Musigny Grand Cru 'Cuvée Vieilles Vignes' Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
A giant amongst the 2021 Grand Cru red Burgundies, but still a sleeping giant. In spite of the stunning concentration on the rather full-bodied palate for the vintage, the stony minerality and bright acidity gives this great drive at the very long finish.

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue 2021 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
A medium deep purple with a lovely perfume, some darker fruit, actually quite sensual. A middling weight of deep sensual fruit then a much livelier finish, some citrus notes, with a finish which is entirely in red fruit. Very persistent indeed.

Le Carillon de l'Angélus 2010 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France
Rather primal, with dark toasty cocoa, black currant jam and warm plum sauce notes that are still wrestling with one another, while charcoal-laden grip strides through on the finish, closing it down quickly. Needs to unwind a bit in the cellar.
