Surprisingly, none of these wines really wowed me (besides the '83 to some extent). They were all good, but nothing to get really excited about. There wasn't much of a house style to be found here besides the 1999 and 2000, which seemed to be cut from the cloth. The '83 was one of the only wines that could easily be associated with Margaux if tasted blind.
2007 Henri Boillot Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
This is was really nice. Citrus, herbs, hazelnuts with a beautiful frame of oak on the nose with a rich yet lively mouthfeel. Excellent acidity and a mineral-laden finish. Extremely enjoyable now but there's no rush. Outstanding.

1990 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 91 Points
France, Champagne
Medium straw colour. Quite developed on the nose with baked yellow fruits, mushrooms and some nutty/yeasty aromas as well. Rich in the mouth with excellent length and solid acidity. Not the best bottle of this Ive had but still very enjoyable. Excellent.

1985 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 93 Points
France, Champagne
This was quite a bit better than the '90 it was served with. Candied ginger, coffee and baked apples on the nose with loads of complexity. Rich mouthfeel but still has solid acid. Excellent length and persistence. This is ready for prime time drinking. Outstanding.

1998 Claude Dugat Charmes-Chambertin 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
Tasted blind. Very pretty nose with black fruits, purple flowers, dust and hints of spice. Lots of structure on the palate that almost overpowers the intense black fruit. Pleasant acidity but this is a bit of a bruiser and seems to lack elegance at this stage. Needs 3-5 years. Excellent. 90+
