France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet
Ripe apple plus slight tropical notes with sweet spice. Flavors are almost as lush to start, but well supported with acidity and minerality. Leaner finish. Best to enjoy now through 2022 or so.
Very ripe in 1990's fashion, but just maintaining the requisite acidity to have maintained good freshness. Palate slightly less ripe than ngos. Good overall concentration and balance.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Yellow apple, candied lemon peel and toasted hazelnut with lots of power and concentration. Clearly ripe, but plenty of balancing structure. Very good length, with a slightly warm finish.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Red cherry and berry throughout. Slightly sweet spice aromas, a bit more savory flavors. Some faint green background hints, but still overall good balance. Best to enjoy now through 2025.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Red and black cherry with moderate weight and concentration, but the wonderful balance I find in the finest 2000s, with nice freshness. Charming indeed.

2007 Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux

All red cherry with very good concentration. Still very tannic and firm, surprisingly so for 2007. Hold to 2025-.

1971 Caves Réunies du Couvent des Cordeliers Volnay

Much like the bottle from few days ago, lots of candied red cherry with sweet spice. Today's bottle possibly showing more earth, less concentration.
