  • 1997 Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares Flawed

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

    Also in single blind 96/97/02/03 vertical. Seemed old and tired with some signs of stewiness that brought out hints of VA and brett. Previous bottles bought at the same time were great.

    Also in single blind 96/97/02/03 vertical. Seemed old and dirty, eventually cork notes emerged.

  • 2002 Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

    Also in single blind 96/97/02/03 vertical. Rich red cherry and berry throughout, very dense and powerful. This seemed lush, but the structure was ever-present, just behind in the near background. Very good now, with further upside. Difficult to tell if this was the 2002 or 2003, and I thought wrong.

  • 2003 Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

    Also in single blind 96/97/02/03 vertical. More black vs red fruit, this was completely seamless and fully engaging, even if less powerful than the (equally brilliant) 2002. Great length. Difficult to tell if this was the 2002 or 2003, and I thought wrong.

Flight 5 - 1997 Grand Cru (2 Notes)

Flight 6 - A Few More Wines (2 Notes)

  • 2003 Louis Jadot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts 89 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

    Popped-and-poured, tasted double blind, knowing it was Jadot. Lots here, needs more time. Firm and tannic with lots of power in front of ripe fruit, which made me think this was from 2005. Subdued aromas and a flavor profile of black cherry and plum, meaty notes, and just subtle spice, which took me to Gevrey, thinking it to be Estournelles or Lavaux '05. Oops.

  • 2003 Château Coutet Barsac 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Barsac

    Tasted double blind. Rich and sweet, this had lots of big, bold flavors, just slightly less nuance and subtlety than this tends to show in other great vintages. Still wonderfully fresh. My first time re-tasting since en Primeur in 2004.
