deep dark yellow. initially thought it was an old roussanne. got better after some air but has seen better days.
White
1993 Maison Roche de Bellene Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes Collection Bellenum

decent, but my own personal taste calls for fresher palate. a little tired.

love the nose. bright and expressive. palate a little thin as expected from the vintage.
Red
1990 Joseph Drouhin Charmes-Chambertin
92 points
dark, spicy and earthy. perfectly enjoyable but perhaps not the most representative example of this great terroir.

Red
1998 Tertre Rôteboeuf

round and voluptuous, but not as sexy as previous bottle. alex thought it was a dominus.
