1996 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
(9/16/2017)
Lots of rich apple and pear aromas with balance of ripe fruit, sweet spa ice and floral charm. Incredibly fresh for its age, I thought it much younger. Only nit is that the new oak still slightly protrudes.

2008 Domaine Roulot Meursault 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
(9/16/2017)
Started off slightly reduced with leaner apple and lemon and floral hints. The reduction and lemon went away after 10-15 minutes in glass, and the wine picked up weight. Very good Villages wine right now.

2005 Domaine d'Auvenay (Lalou Bize-Leroy) Auxey-Duresses Les Clous Blanc 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Auxey-Duresses
(9/15/2017)
Tasted double blind. Very ripe, very oak spiced at first I wondered if New World, but the minerality brought me back to Burgundy. So next I thought Leflaive 1er Cru, given the richness. Very powerful, very long.

2005 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
(9/15/2017)
Served double blind. Clearly ripe, very accessible, I thought it a great 1999 Vosne 1er. Powerful red fruit with subtle spice. Very long, very powerful, still slightly firm finish. Great already, with upside. Seemed to shut down after an hour+ in glass, with the structure I would expect from 2005s really coming to the forefront.

1966 Domaine Pierre Gelin Chambertin-Clos de Bèze 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
(9/15/2017)
This is all about slowly cooked, slowly reduced mushroom with balsamic vinegar thrown in at the end. Some lingering black cherry aromas, slightly more on palate. Some people didn't enjoy this wine, but perhaps they shouldn't drink as much old Burgundy at this level.

1996 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Bonnes Mares 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
(9/15/2017)
Tasted double blind. I was torn between Chambolle and Vosne, with its red fruit fruit, spice profile and textural charm. While this isn't come across as classically Bonnes Mares, the young vines explain that moderate power. At its peak now, more finessed than powerful.

2014 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Clos Vougeot 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
(9/15/2017)
Tasted double blind. Thought it 2010 or 2012 Burg Grand Cru, but could not identify place. Red and black cherry with some meaty character. Ripe, firm, while overall still nicely balanced.
