Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 2006 Pol Roger Champagne Vintage Brut 93 Points

    France, Champagne

    Drank about 1/6th the bottle over 1 hour. This is consistent with my experineces of a good bottle of vintage Pol Roger brut. Citrus, apple,l pear, toasty, powerful, good energy and lift. I'm happy to have 3 left.

  • NV Laurent-Perrier Champagne Cuvée Rosé Brut 89 Points

    France, Champagne

    Drank about 1/6th of the bottle over an hour. Bright red fruit which seems rather primary. I can't get it out of my head that this reminds me of carbonated red Koolaid, there seems to be a similarity there. Even so, this has been a pleasant but understated champagne and clearly others enjoyed it more than me.

Flight 3 (3 Notes)

  • 2008 Domaine du Château de Chorey (Germain) Corton-Bressandes 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru

    Drank about 1/6th of the bottle over 2 hours. The nose is expressie and it really opened up in the glass. Unfortunately, that caused the wine to also get really funky, almost excessively so. But I love funk, and it mixed well with iron, scorched earth and fine tannins. This is slightly angular.

  • 2012 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères Vineyard 92 Points

    USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge

    Bright and elegant. A bold pinot that doesn't come across as typical Beaux Freres for me. I fear this has big fruit that is a hallmark of the vintage, and it lacks nuance. It would be great if it gained more complexity with time.

  • 2012 The Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 90 Points

    USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley

    This wine is reminiscent of the 2012 original vines pinots that I've consumed. Its pleasant and has big fruit, but it doesn't hold any great interest. The fruit seems primary or straight forward pinot. This was easily surpassed by the other two pinots tonight.
