4/25/2015 - mjg87 wrote: NRApparently the multiple half full bottles lying around weren't enough, so Fu grabbed this out of my cellar at the end of the night. Really awesome perfumed nose of strawberry and flowers. One of the noses of the night for me. On the palate this was round and supple, but also with a bit of crunchiness to the fruit that really made the texture interesting. Great wine. |

1999 Domaine d'Auvenay (Lalou Bize-Leroy) Auxey-Duresses Les Clous BlancChardonnay more |
4/25/2015 - mjg87 wrote: NRDespite looking a bit dark, I thought that this was remarkably fresh, with pretty, round fruit, hints of citrus and some lovely white floral tones. Not on the same level as the Bouchard and Coche, but a really nice drink that kept getting better with time in the decanter. |

4/25/2015 - mjg87 wrote: NRThis was a real treat. Initially this was dominated by dried flowers, berries, and earthy notes. These eventually softened into a really pretty mix with acidity adding a nice bit of freshness to the mature earthy elements. Great. |

1990 Domaine Dujac EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/25/2015 - mjg87 wrote: NRCharacteristic Dujac perfume of stem-driven spice, flowers and snappy red berries. Oh how I love that Dujac nose! This had very nice fruit on the palate, and I thought it firmed up over time. Where initially it seemed a little light at first, it became fleshier and more substantial throughout the night. Fred set aside a small glass early in the night and it was showing incredibly well hours after being opened. Great stuff. |

1996 Coche-Dury Meursault 1er Cru CailleretsChardonnay more |
4/25/2015 - mjg87 wrote: NRInitially, I wasn't terribly impressed, especially next to the Bouchard Montrachet. Throughout the night - and after a double decant - the wine really opened up, and by the time I got to my last glass this was really something, with that classic Coche matchstick, a hint of spice, and generous white fruit and flowers. |

4/25/2015 - mjg87 wrote: flawedOxidized or not oxidized, that was the question. The answer was "slightly oxidized." There was apple, a very slight breadiness, and some nice tertiary components alongside the oxidative notes. Minimal effervescence, but still an enjoyable drink. I'm glad to have tried this, but I think that there are probably better bottles out there. |

4/25/2015 - mjg87 wrote: NRAfter spending a couple hours in the decanter, this was showing a really pretty nose of flowers and bright red fruit. The palate was very tight initially, but I thought that it opened up appreciably with air and by the end of the night was drinking very well, with a silky texture and nice fruit presence. |

4/25/2015 - mjg87 wrote: NRThis was dominated by dark fruit, dark florality, and a certain spiciness on the nose that I associate with DRC. Lots of structure here, but still supple in the mouth. Despite its youth, I thought this showed very well, though its potential for substantial improvement is incredibly obvious. |

4/25/2015 - mjg87 wrote: NRThis was a great white Burgundy, showing copious yellow fruit and great power. Despite the concentration, there was a sense of precision that really rounded this wine out. This really blossomed into something special with lots of time in the decanter, with enveloping aromas and flavors. Lovely. |

6/26/2015 - mjg87 wrote: NRRoulot is so ridiculously pure. This was like drinking crystalline water – that tastes like wine – from a clear mountain spring. To be honest, it was a bit too pure for me at first, but it opened up later in the night to some buttery tropical and yellow fruit. |
