3/1/2024 - ricknat1 Likes this wine: 98 pointsThis wine has final come into its own. While it has not reached its peak, after 4 hours and 30 minutes open it started powerfully, clearly the best wine of the night. After a while I found the tannins to creep back in but the drinking window has opened and while this wine will improve for 20 years plus it’s a pleasure now |

2/29/2024 - ricknat1 Likes this wine: 94 pointsSecond best wine of a set of 4 right bank wines at Edwardian dinner. Smooth silky with perfectly balanced fruit. Best 90 to date but still far behind the 82 or 61 |

10/14/2023 - ricknat1 Likes this wine: 96 pointsPrecise, but well rounded with very forward tree fruits and balanced perfectly. This is great but still on the way up. this is early but very drinkable and with the premox situation, i am starting to drink grand crus earlier. if it never got better it would be wonderful but it will get better/. she makes the best batard |

1971 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La TâcheLa Tâche Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
10/8/2023 - ricknat1 Likes this wine: 100 pointsThe 1971 La Tâche is amazing. It was lush, yet subtle, alive and totally electric in the mouth. we were both dazzled from start to finish with seemingly endless layers of sweet fruit and captivating aromatics from the first smell to the last sip. This is old Burgundy at its best. it surpassed the 78 i had a few months ago, although ether is a wonderful treat. A perfect wine for a celebration. |

1989 Château Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/4/2023 - ricknat1 Likes this wine: 100 pointsthe last flight of the night was the matchup of the 89 La Mission and Haut Brion. The La <ission was the clear winner at first sip after both had been decanted about 2 hours but the HB was catching up quickly in the glass. We should have given them another hour of air. The La miss is prettier, more seductive and is catching up the to the HB over time, however both wines are essentially perfect and it does not get better in 80's bordeaux as of now. Thanks Jim and Rob, the table was split over which was the winner. These will live on longer than i do. |

10/4/2023 - ricknat1 Likes this wine: 94 pointsMuch closer to the 96 than the 2001 but much more balanced and much tighter than the 2001 as well as heavier, for some people this was the favorite of the 3. Thanks Eugene, who said this showed as much more open. few weeks ago. |

2001 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. VivantRomanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
10/4/2023 - ricknat1 Likes this wine: 95 pointsthis was my favorite of the the three , athough its the least mature. the 9=6 is a little dense for me and the 02 is its baby brother but he 01 is as Eugene put it hight toned, bright and incredibly elegeant. Its a wine of complexity and depth, with notes of raspberry fruit, spice, a touch of leather and new oak. On the palate the wine is deep and offers lovely bright complexity, with good length and well-integrated tannins. this will only get better |

10/4/2023 - ricknat1 wrote: 93 pointsThe nose is black cherries, raspberries,spices, lots of oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, reserved and borderline over-oaked, with a good core, firm tannins and much more dense than its peers we drink that i would not have pegged as an RSV blind. It was still a beautiful wine. Thank you Stuart |

2004 Château de Puligny-Montrachet Chevalier-MontrachetChevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
10/4/2023 - ricknat1 Likes this wine: 93 pointsHigh toned, fresh, very good nose. Tropical fruits with orange peel. strong minerality with the elegance of Chevalier should be. The wine continues to evolve in the glass while maintaining precision with good length. A smaller scale Chevalier that was delightful. Thank you Mike. the 01 and 04 just did not work out |
