  • 1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echezeaux 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru

    Quite dark and almost rustic, this is very much showing the vintage - especially when served vis à vis a 2002 wine. I was guessing all over the place here, as the dark and concentrated showing did not lead us to Burgundy. This is still very young and need time.

  • 2002 Gros Frère et Sœur Grands-Echezeaux 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru

    First bottle a wee bit off, second and third really singing; this hits the Pinot-nerve, it is a very feminine, dancing wine, very much the 2002 speaking as always. It is ready to drink, has sous bois and charm - a point, right now, I think

Flight 5 (3 Notes)

  • 1990 Château Mouton Rothschild 94 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    Mature, broad and somewhat sweet in it generous and almost kind attack; classy and classic wine, gentle and round with plenty of fruit, hints of tobacco - ready to drink, though not at all on the way down.

  • 1986 Château Haut-Brion 97 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    WOTN for - and I nailed it blind (needed the credit after the DRC-fiasco); smoky and cool, very cool indeed, a manly drink that could even remind one of the northern Rhône. Very long and very balanced - still young.

  • 2003 Gaja Langhe Darmagi 92 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    Darkblue, tight, young with loads of blackberries here; it is very polished, very Gaja, just a little gemacht, very much a First Class wine seeking to pleasure The Upper Ten ... #Schur

  • 1996 Château d'Yquem 94 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes

    Orangepeel, candied fruit, some spice, coffee, a dark hue; not as good as the mindblowing 1990, that we drank not long ago, but still a very special treat. Seems more mature than the 1990 ...
