We picked a small grower champagne from the restaurant wine list to kick-off our (generally) 1990 themed dinner. 2nd time i've had this wine but the first time for everyone else. comments around the table included "oxidative style?" to "demi sec?". did not really make much of an impression on me but i was never a big champagne drinker anyways

We were a bit worried at first this would fall apart as the restaurant decanted this by mistake. Not so. Incredibly young color for almost a 30 year wine. Served a bit cold at first and needed a good hour to open up and kept building over the entire dinner. What a nose! So young and fresh with loads of minerality and dry extract. Tremendous power and length although one would expect more nuances. Still one of the best whites I've ever had. Just sad to think why so few nowadays can make these long distance runners.

Golden yellow with a hint of green. Just looking at how it swirled you can feel the waxy texture. Typical kerosene/petrol nose intertwined with floral and herbal notes. Bone dry in the mouth, yellow and green fruit with good minerality and acidity to balance. At a decent place now but should improve with age as it kept building over 3 hours. Somewhat overshadowed by the 85 Leflaive CM tonight but I thought this was really quite lovely and we really ought to be drinking more of these rather than just white burgs.

Another classic Rousseau CsJ. Lovely nose of dark cherry followed by the earthy notes. Fruit, acidity, savory and mineralty - they're all here. Just perfect weight and balance and drinking at peak. More than held its own even after the flight of Rhone/Bordeaux that followed - like Bruce Lee with numb-chucks against a gang of heavy weight boxers. Red WOTN for me.

Still quite young and primary. Much darker color than the Rousseau CsJ. Nose was quite powerful with a bit of spice. Very prominent acidity as with a lot of 93s. I liked it but a bit disjointed tonight. Think this will get better with more age.

Unfortunate to be served alongside such pedigree company tonight but came across as a bit funky and candied for my liking.

Young and primary but just entering its drinking window. Quite meaty on the nose. Lots of raw power balanced by wonderful acidity. This wine had it all. Already good today but will be great in another 5-10 years. Out of the three Las the Landonne is normally the one i least prefer but this was no doubt a lovely bottle.

This wine was all about potential as it was painfully young even compared with the Landonne. Everything is there for this to develop into an incredible wine but we drank it 10 years too early.

A great margaux and one of my all time favorites but tonight's bottle was not the perfect wine i had before. Still a damn good drink i must say
