A few got together for some wines and dinner on Monday night no corkage. There was a 99 kistler vine hill that I though was fair but a tad tired. I didn't take notes while I was there so these were from memory. Food was out of this world and the wines were great. Company even beter.
Served with the squab and the Duck. Both these wines were very sexy!!!
Bravo!!!
The montrose and he certan showed very well. The burg flight was an eye opener.

Wine possessed a very earthy and resiny nose that screams sophistication and old world elegance. The wine was smooth and soft in the mouth with an excellent feel, purity, and balance. The finish was long and delicious. I am going to buy some of this as this is a excellent bottle of burgundy.

Drinking much bigger and younger than the Laurent in the same flight. This wine was every bit as complex and compelling. This wine was not light on its feet an attacks your palate. It will improve with age as it balances itself out. Another great wine.
