great dinner starting with snail eggs and included everything from Santa Barbara Uni to A5 Wagyu. Great cooking throughout and wonderful time with 10 wine and food lovers around a single table and no one else in the restaurant.

• 1985 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon

  France, Champagne

  I prefer more freshness in my bubbles. That being said if you prefer mature champagne this was drinking well. Nice fruit and depth.

  Again a BdB. Nice wine with more fruit than the Selosse. I would drink this anytime but overpriced IMO.

• 1990 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru

  Rich and powerful. Lacked signature Chevalier nose to me but still great bottle of wine. Very deep and no sign of aging.

• 1991 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru

  Very different from the 90 although both were very fresh. More acid and terroir here. Excellent length and balance.

  I remember drinking several of the 88 on release at Inkahoots. Wine had nice depth and fruit still although mature. Good not great.

• 1996 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Clos Vougeot

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

  Pretty mature for a 96. Earth and sous bois. Drank nice IMO but I wouldn't hold for long and lacked grand cru pedigree.

• 1996 Domaine Anne Gros Clos Vougeot Le Grand Maupertui

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

  Rich and powerful. A typical for the vintage IMO but not the producer. Needs 5 to 10 more years to see what this is about. Black fruited.

• 1990 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

  Again marked by the vintage. Deep and dark fruit but not pruney or overdone. If you like fleshy wines this was very good. Great with red meat. hedonistic

  Nice spice and red fruit. Secondary aroma starting to work in. Good balance and decent depth. Drink now though but very nice.

• 1969 Domaine Dujac Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

  Funky open opening. After a spell it opened up a bit. Sous bois and mature forest. Decent length. It is what it is. A 45 year old premier cru from a good not great vintage. From Flickinger.

• 1976 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru

  From Acker. Surprisingly not much tannin here. Deep fruit set still there with dark fruit dominating. Very nice length balance. Mea culpa this is one of my favorite bottlings.

• NV Jacques Selosse Substance

  France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru

  My first Selosse. Felt the wine was well balanced with good concentration. The chard def showed. All in I wouldn't seek this out. RDK
