A lovely Beserker Offline with a broad "French wines you love" theme, organized by Yao. Great people and an embarrassment of riches when it came to the reds. None of the reds showed poorly, but the less said about the whites the better. :)
WOTN for me was the '85 Magdelaine, followed by the '89 VCC and the '98 Beaucastel. Each of them had at least one vote for WOTN, as did the Texier Cote Rotie and the Rieussec. A lovely time had by all!
2006 Taittinger Champagne Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 93 Points
France, Champagne
Lovely on the nose – yeast, crushed rock, and honey-lemon tea. Fruit on the palate is more citrus forward at first, but veering towards yellow orchard fruit after an hour. Crushed Oyster shell minerality, tons of freshness, but perhaps a bit angular at this point. Beautiful texture, tons of dry extract and leesy umami notes, yet remains lean and racy.

1996 Robert Ampeau & Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières Flawed
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
A bit corked, which became more obvious with time. Nice texture/frame and not oxidized though!

1996 Bouchard Père et Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières

Over the hill. Butter baked apples on the nose. A bit fresher on the palate, with good acid and weight. Still drinkable, but not much more to recommend it. 84
