Some of the most impressive wines: 85 Ramonet, 90 Richebourg, 71 Richebourg, 85 Jayer and 05 Dujac.
85 Ramonet is the textbook perfect. Mostly Ramonet/Coche night, with some Montrachet mixed in. DRC Magnum was a close second!
Magnum ex-domaine. Drinking so well. Such a variety pack of flavors with some refreshing green notes and old school spice. Excellent depth and precision. 94

Magnum ex-domaine. Superb animalistic nose, great floral array of spice. Palate is very clear and clean. 93-94

No night is complete without Leroy. Richebourg winner for me. La Romanee showdown was interesting.
So complete, sweetness meandering with spice and so deep. 96+

No introduction needed. 85 is another textbook example. Literally.
Did not have enough time open to appreciate its true beauty... still very classy for what is in the glass. 95+

We opened and tasted and wondered if Henri made this wine? I served to many Jayer enthusiasts and did not reach a conclusion. However, this is a TEXTBOOK example of terroir, everything expected is there, with the dried flowers, sweet spice, ethereally elapsing through every breath. Example to remind me why Burgundy. Strong contender for WOTN. 96-97

Dujac is on fire! These punch so much about their usual weight. Stunning. 05 CSD another contender for WOTN.
So complete, so much spice at its core, so big. Just a wow wine, and the vintage is surprisingly drinking well. 96+

Magnum. Compared to the CDLR 98 magnum from two days prior, this is great too. Have a feeling Duajc killed this vintage. 94-95
Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue
Mature wine with pedigree found only in the best Burgundy. Fantastic and an immediate pleasure. 94-95
Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue
Just great, nicely sweet and thoroughly enjoyable. Some stem in background to support. 94

Magnum (this is the extent I can remember). I am sure it was a really nice wine...

There seemed to be a lot more Rousseau around. Good to revisit some of these wines and serve as context comparing them to memory. 1988 Ruchottes stood up against many Chambertin and Beze.
Thin vintage, not far behind from Chambertin and Beze. 93

Love the vintage acid. 94

Glorious. Aged Rousseau at its best. 95 (not sure whether it was 88' Ruchottes or CSJ, probably CSJ).

Of course, the most popular producer on the floor. 90 Richebourg absolutely on fire and strong contender for WOTN, followed by 71.There was also another bottle of old LT without vintage identification (~50s), and it was good of course. Montrachet to start the party!
004085/5443. Heat-damaged, but this is still RC. Underlying wine is tremendous. What a shame. 94 for the showing

Magnum. This has always been a favorite RSV for me, showing very nice elegance, structure and acid to be developed for much more time to come. 95
Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue
Slightly tired, but by no means undrinkable. Good aged Burgundy overall, pronounced acidity and some earthy flavors. 91
Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue
Standout in a night of so many great wines. Just so textured, so detailed and so good. Mind-blowing Richebourg in every way with everything expected from terroir and impeccable elegance. Still young with lingering breath of regal spice. Another contender for WOTN. 97+

So fortunate to have a great bottle this time, very resolved and ready, with lovely Vosne spice and fresh bouquet that wraps around and complicates. Great indeed. 96-97

Dried tea leaves, herbs, aging rather well surprisingly. 93-94

Hard to place, definitely a good wine, maybe tried too late into the evening so not particularly powerful, after 5 hours of opening. NR

There was also a fairly good Ponsot CDLR but cannot remember the vintage... maybe 2002/5. Producers also bottle 2018s Meursault into Magnums/Jeros/6L and those are nice ways to start.
So sweet and supple. Big, ripe and weighty. 93

Magnum, served blind to Pierre Duroche, whose father made this wine. He guessed 1999! Very close. The wine is great, giving out all the nice vintage aromatics and the ethereal-oriented almsot CSJ flavors. Happy nightcap. 92-93

Magnum 00174. This period Pousse d'Or is indeed very good. Great weight and sweet spice. 93

This is shyer and more weighty than 02 Amoureuses and Musigny, but the wine is great. Vintage killer acid and elegance. 93+

Slipped in a night of Burngundy. Hard to appreciate in this environment. Wine is thin even by comparison. 91
