Red
1988 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche
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
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
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
95 points
lots of red fruits and earth. a bit more reticent than the rouget cros p, but still excellent.

Red
1997 Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
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
95 points
lush and velvety, vanilla, toffee. excellent showing.
