NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée Edition 166eme 91 Points
France, Champagne
(2/28/2020)
Very rich, very bready with lots of ripe orchard fruit. Very good concentration, good textures, less textural brightness vs my favorite editions of Grande Cuvée. A vintage more likely to enjoy sooner vs later.

2015 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru Séchet 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
(2/28/2020)
Ripe apple with a richness I would never associate with Chablis. For me this is a better glass of Chardonnay than it is a good Chablis, given barely/ faint signs of mineral/ oystershell/ saline character. Much more 2015 than anything else.

2015 Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Luchets 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
(2/28/2020)
Alongside Boucheres 2013. Rich and ripe apple throughout, coming across as lush to start (very 2015), then much brighter and texturally bright on long finish. Very good+ for its level. Better tonight vs when tasted at the domaine in 2017.

2013 Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
(2/28/2020)
Served alongside Luchets 2015. Slightly reductive start, but that quickly dissipated as expected from the best Roulot. Apple and lemon peel through out with an impressive richness for the vintage, while also managing to come across as bright and lean. At the start of its drinking window.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
(2/28/2020)
Floral start with bright apple and pear aromas. Taut and somewhat coiled on palate with a clear richness waiting to emerge. Lingering finish hints at this wine's real potential, better 2025-.

2006 Domaine Anne Gros Clos Vougeot Le Grand Maupertui 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
(2/29/2020)
Ripe black cherry and berry with both savory and sweet spice and obvious Grand Cru density. Some tannins are still slightly assertive, but they are silky and elegant. I think this is just entering its peak drinking window and should drink ever-so-well as it evolves over the next decade.

1984 Dominus Estate 87 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
(2/29/2020)
Small glass, brief note. More earth than fruit with moderate supporting structure. A wine I enjoyed 15 years ago, but now it is past its peak if this bottle is representative.

Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
(2/29/2020)

2009 Seaver Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon GTS Nancy's Fancy 89 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley, Diamond Mountain
(2/29/2020)
Very ripe and rich with little restraint, yet able to maintain balance. A bit too extravagant when opened after so many Old World wines, but quite tasty on its old a few hours later with a great burger.

2014 Thierry Allemand Cornas Chaillot
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas
(2/29/2020)
Small glass, brief note. Dense black fruit with black pepper, olive tapenade and roasted meat, with just enough feral character to make this unmistakably Rhone. Very powerful, but very backward and too firmly structured for current enjoyment. But certainly 92-93 point potential, 2024 forward...or better yet, 2029 forward.

2008 Domaine des Croix Corton-Charlemagne 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
(2/28/2020)
Dark color gave me concern. Mature ripe apple aromas with honeycomb and some butterscotch with enough concentration to remain interesting. If served blind, I’d probably have thought a 2000 Grand Cru. Most previous bottles opened in 2016/ 2017 were better/ fresher.

2009 Château Palmer
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
(2/28/2020)
Small glass, brief note. First time having this wine. Ripe black currant and cassis aromas. Dense and powerful to start, powerful but tannic in the middle, then a near silky and elegant long finish. Great potential, 2029-.

2011 Paolo Scavino Barolo Riserva Novantesimo
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
(2/28/2020)
Small glass, brief note. Stunning aromas with red and black cherry, floral charm with sweet and savory spice. Similar flavors, just backward and firm, but this is an amazing wine that needs a decade+ in the cellar, but should emerge 2030- as rockstar, 94-95+ points.

1999 Evesham Wood Pinot Noir Cuvée J
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
(2/28/2020)
Small glass, brief note. Very good nose, but palate is past its peak to start, then quickly falls further off a cliff.

1999 Domaine Château De La Tour Clos Vougeot
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
(2/28/2020)
Small glass, brief note. Lots here with a big, rich start. But firm and backward in the middle, and just hints of its full potential on finish. Certainly 90-91+ point potential, but more time/ air required. That's the 1999 vintage.

1997 Louis Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru
(2/28/2020)
Popped and poured. Enjoyable, but very firm and backward. So cork reinserted into the remaining 1/2 bottle, to be revisited the next day. Alas the wine was tired and oxidized on Day Two. Inconsistent with previous bottles.

2005 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 95 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
(2/29/2020)
Opened an hour before tasting, then revisited 2-3 times over the next few hours. Great aromatics start with black berries, black plum, black pepper and complex background spice. Similar flavors, just very backward and somewhat firm. This opened up over several hours, but clearly isn't quite in its peak drinking window yet, but 95+ point potential, 2025-2050.
