Flight 1 (1 note)

White - Sparkling
1985 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut France, Champagne
great intensity and balance. beautiful.

Flight 2 (2 notes)

Red
1988 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
96 points
gorgeous nose. perhaps a little lightweight but drinks beautifully. feminine and perfumed. amazingly no trace of the usual 88 harsh tannins.
Red
1988 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands-Echezeaux France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru
93 points
masculine and beefy, especially compared to the 88 dujac roche. great on the nose with lots of complexity, but a little dry and tannic on the finish.

Flight 3 (2 notes)

Red
1997 Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
98 points
absolutely singing. to die for nose, great structure and balance. clear wine of evening for me.
Red
1997 George et Henri Jayer Echezeaux France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
95 points
lots of red fruits and earth. a bit more reticent than the rouget cros p, but still excellent.

Flight 4 (2 notes)

Red
1997 Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon USA, California, Napa Valley
97 points
coffee, chocolate, jam, licorice. it's all out there. not as overwhelmingly sweet as i remember it, but still needs a porterhouse.
Red
1997 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select USA, California, Napa Valley, Stags Leap District
95 points
lush and velvety, vanilla, toffee. excellent showing.
