1985 Domaine Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

2018 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru

2021 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 96 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Mindblowing complexity and details through every inch. Layers and layers of lifted pure red fruit with bling bling citrus acidity. Who says all Roumier is purple? Classic showing of a "weaker" vintage, which I love. Easy WOTN after enough air. 96-97

1999 Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux Flawed
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, La Tâche Grand Cru
00329/18196. Superb nose like the bottle from a few months ago, but shorter finish. Then again this is PnP. Love the vintage green/freshness in DRC as always! 95

2005 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echezeaux 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
03466/16313. Still in the same phase as three years ago, no rush to open, very good balance with hint of woodiness in the red fruit. 93-94

1961 Château Haut-Brion Flawed
