Introduction
Another fine outing with the Fresno gang...this time I spat more, so I was coherent at the end! Chef Shak does amazing things food wise, and conversation gets really interesting late into the night when we close down the place! Thanks again fellas...next time in the 209!
1991 Domaine Bertheau (Pierre et François) Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Pretty Bertheau...red berry fruits, dried potpourri, crancherry tart acidity...little muddled with some tilled earth, leather from age...but still drinking well at this age, classic.

2011 Clos Rougeard (Foucault) Saumur Blanc Brézé 96 Points
France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Saumur
Such a unique experience...riper fruit, maybe botrytis, tropical mango with fresh spritz of lemon acidity...saline minerals with some funk, little petrol, banana wax, bread dough...rich textured with amazing length, pretty florals...long spicy rosemary on the finish. An experience.

2010 Clos Rougeard (Foucault) Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux 95 Points
France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Saumur-Champigny
Very elegant, with Burgundy-like finesse...raspberry puree fruit, crunchy cherry, crushed rocks...pretty florals and just the right amount of pyrazene greenness...really gained with air, loved the subtle complexity in this, with plenty of structure for further aging.

2010 Marcassin Pinot Noir Blue-Slide Ridge Vineyard 90 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
Blind. Lighter transparent fruits...strawberry, raspberry, cherry...pretty tight but did air out after a few hours. Some pretty florals and faint spice...earth and mineral funk...all very medium bodied. Expected more. I guessed light style Grenache.

Blind. Screw cap freshness...unique flinty gas rag ala bord blancs...bright and fresh orchard fruits, lemon squeeze, smokey mineral funk, honeysuckle florals, wax, very short finish though. This was really nice! I guessed aged Sauv Blanc.

NV Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Único Reserva Especial 1994, 1996, 2000 (2015 Release) 96 Points
Spain, Castilla y León, Ribera del Duero
Blind. Started out dark and raisined, smooth and deeply fruited...fig jam, plum, black cherry, currant...gained and gained throughout the night, with more elegance and less concentration coming through. Dark spice, olive, rich earth, creme de cassis, smoked spice...and lifted with a nice vein of acidity. Should be long lived. An experience. I guessed Super Tuscan Cab blend.

2004 Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon 96 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Wonderful! Full bodied black and red fruits...super smooth with great graphite powder dryness, velvet tannins, dried fruits, smoky cassis...violet florals, still youthful structure. Drank well all night...one of my favs.

2009 Louis Roederer Champagne Brut Nature Cuvée Starck 93 Points
France, Champagne
What a treat! Crazy intense citrus here...hurts so good! Sour tart lemon heads, crushed minerality, somewhat creamy almond mousse, apricot creme, blossom florals, biscuit...really dry. Thank God for the 09 ripeness as it at least gives some depth to the intenseness. This gained on me...fun stuff!

2015 Marcel Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Marcel Lapierre 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon
Bright fresh...summer sipper by the pool stuff! Pretty red berries, perfume florals, crushed smokey minerals, cinnamon spices...cherry skin tartness...a beautifully feminine wine, tasty now, yet has the depth to age a long time.

2013 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Young for sure, but pretty and pure silky red berry fruits, high toned tartness, fresh acidity, dried cinnamon stick, potpourri florals. Elegant and somewhat simple now, but should age into something more complex in 10+yrs. Always a treat! +pts
