Big apple aromas and flavors with subtle spice and lots of yeast and toasted rye bread. Good density.

2010 Domaine Georges Vernay Condrieu Coteau de Vernon 94 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Condrieu
Intense dried apricot with great fruit intensity and sweet spice aromas. Same flavor profile but coming across with good acidity and more restraint. Layers of flavors, lots of power. Very good now, I'd expect this will hold strong to close to 2020.

1989 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Ripe and nicely maturing orchard fruit aromas and flavors with great spice, some hints of roasted hazelnut and faint background sweetness. Everything is maturing, but completely age appropriate. Well stored bottles of Lafon 1989s are sensational.

1995 Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie 89 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie
Overall good, but slightly disappointing performance for this wine so close to "home." Lots of meaty black berry here, just a little more barnyard than I'd prefer and a big jammy.

1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. Vivant 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
Superb spice is completely enchanting with lots of dense red cherry and berry that is incredibly bright, with faints hints of evolution. Very energetic through long finish.

1937 Clos Fourtet 90 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
What a pleasant surprise. Tobacco leaf, forest floor and well reduced mushroom character. Black fruit made a nice cameo appearance once open 10 minutes, this peaked at 15-20 minutes, started a clear decline shortly thereafter.

Another treat tonight. Baked apple and dried apricot with wonderful caramelized notes throughout.
