France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
A lovely citrus packed Perrieres. Like all our whites tonight, drunk leisurely over hours and continued to improve. Very good rather than great, yet very pleasing. Still quite youthful.
This bottle was clean, pristine and showed with utter clarity. Interesting combination of deliciousness, structure, and power. An eucalyptus note, and for our "what would you guess if this was blind?" game, two of us said 74 Heitz Martha's. A great bottle, and ultimately my favorite of the Grange foursome.
Youthful and pure, and at 28 years old this is still literally a baby. Eucalyptus and mint. Stunning now; easy to imagine how fantastic well stored bottles will taste at age 50.
We ended the night with a Penfolds surprise - 2004 Bin 60A - a blend of roughly 50/50 Cab and Shiraz. A sublime bottle of wine, which was muscular, chewy, and utterly unique. Like the 91 Grange, this will likely age forever. Fantastic.

Our enjoyment of this bottle ascended throughout the course of our three hour dinner. Rich, forward fruit, that came across as stately and regal.

A cornucopia of flavors, that oozed sex appeal. Lovely.

It's hard to overstate how enjoyable this wine is, even at this age. Youthful, precise, classy, engaging. I love it.
