Introduction

Six of us got together to enjoy the best duck in town.

Flight 1 - Champagne (1 Note)

Flight 2 - Chevillon Nuits St. Georges (4 Notes)

These clearly expressed the negative aspects of the 08 vintage, showing green and hollow middle palate.

  • 2008 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    Medium expressive nose displaying subtle slightly dry black fruit, blackberry, plum, strong sous bois, raw button mushroom, cinnamon and earth. Medium concentration, subtle black fruit, cool, slightly unripe and lean, strong acidity, earthy mineral, coarse tannins and a medium long subtle black fruit driven finish with noticeable bitterness at the end. The midpalate is hollow and the overall expression is masculine and angular. I prefer the nose to the palate.

  • 2008 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    Medium expressive nose displaying black and red fruit, raspberry preserve, black cherry, leather, cinnamon, roasted meat and earth. Medium concentration, subtle red and black fruit, cool and lean, strong acidity, earthy mineral, and a medium long red and black driven finish. This shows a bit more weight than Chaignots but also bitter and lacks midpalate.

  • 2008 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    Medium expressive nose displaying ripe slightly dry black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, strong sous bois, button mushroom, cinnamon, roasted nuts and earth. Medium concentration, subtle black fruit, cool and lean, strong acidity, earthy mineral, harsh tannins and a medium long black fruit driven finish. Once again, bitter and masculine.

  • 2008 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    Medium expressive nose displaying subtle black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, sous bois, leather, caramel, dark spices and iron. Very good concentration, subtle black fruit, round and warm, bright acidity, strong iron mineral, and a medium long black fruit driven finish. This also has a bitter finish with a hollow midpalate. The most concentrated wine of the flight.

Flight 3 - Grivot Nuits St. Georges (1 Note)

This showed more finesse.

  • 2010 Domaine Jean Grivot Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    Expressive nose displaying warm red fruit, strawberry, raspberry, rose, light caramel, sous bois, tree bark, cinnamon and earth. Nicely integrated palate, finely layered red fruit, silky, soft and round, bright acidity, limestone mineral, and a long sweet red fruit driven finish. This shows more finesse than the 08 Chevillons.

Flight 4 - Hospices de Beaune (1 Note)

This exemplified how special burgundies become with a lot of cellaring.

  • 1962 Hospices de Beaune Pommard Cuvée Dames de la Charité Bouchard Aine et Fils 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard

    Expressive nose displaying incredible sweet red fruit that only comes from a very old wine, raspberry preserve, strong sous bois, sauteed cep, truffle, leather, sweet spices and earth. Excellent concentration, generous sweet red fruit, warm and round, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a seamless long sweet red fruit driven finish. A great example of truly mature Burgundy. A couple extra points for the sweet fruit.

Flight 5 - Blind Riesling (1 Note)

This seems very young. A bit fat so my guess was the 03 vintage.

  • 2002 Zilliken (Forstmeister Geltz) Saarburger Rausch Riesling Spätlese 92 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    Served blind. Light color. Expressive nose displaying generous white and yellow fruit, pear, white peach, lemon curd, cream, spicy spices and mineral. Excellent concentration, generous white and yellow fruit, rich, dense and fat, medium acidity and mineral, and a long sweet white and yellow fruit driven finish. My guess is the 03 as it is rich and fat. Not terribly complex but delicious.

Flight 6 - Riesling (5 Notes)

  • 2001 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 94 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    Beautiful light gold. Expressive nose displaying opulent sweet yellow and white fruit, white peach, lemon curd, honey, light caramel, a hint of petrol, white flowers. Sweet spices and limestone. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of opulent white and yellow fruit rich and thick but also showing exceptional balance, bright acidity, strong mineral, and a long concentrated rich yellow and white fruit driven finish. This is a delicious big concentrated sweet Auselese.

  • 2005 Schlossgut Diel Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling Spätlese 93 Points

    Germany, Nahe

    Expressive youthful nose displaying rich sweet tropical fruit, pineapple, apple cinnamon, honey, lemon curd, sweet spices and mineral. Exceptional concentration, sweet rich yellow fruit, dense and oily, medium acidity and mineral, and a long ripe yellow fruit driven finish. It is sweeter than the Haag Auselese. Super sweet and super concentrated. Still very youthful and delicious.

  • 2005 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 92 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    Expressive nose displaying sweet yellow fruit, pineapple, apricot preserve, honey, coconut, a hint of petrol and limestone. Good concentration, generous sweet yellow fruit, a hint of fizz, clean and sweet, medium acidity and mineral, and a long sweet yellow fruit driven finish. It lacks the power and balance of the 01 Auselese. Nevertheless, really delicious and enjoyable.

  • 2001 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 96 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    This hasn’t developed much since I last had it in 2015. Expressive nose displaying perfectly ripe succulent white and yellow fruit, white and yellow peach, lemon curd, lemon oil, coconut, honey, white flowers and limestone. Excellent concentration, beautifully layered perfectly ripe yellow and white fruit, a hint of fizz, perfect balance and precision, incredible finesse, bright acidity, strong mineral, and a seamless long perfectly ripe yellow and white fruit driven finish. The has the airy texture of a Chevalier Montrachet.

    Expressive youthful nose displaying concentrated yellow and white fruit, white peach, baked apple, lemon curd, coconut, honey, light caramel and mineral. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated sweet yellow fruit, rich, dense and oily but also showing nice balance due to bright acidity and strong mineral, and a long sweet concentrated yellow and white fruit driven finish. This is a big concentrated Auslese.
