Served blind. Seemed obvious from Champagne, slightly mature, and seemingly from a producer with a bready house style. Lots of apple and some lemon with modest intensity.

Served double blind. Seemed clearly from Burgundy, with lots of energy and brightness. I thought Chablis 2007 Grand Cru, so was very impressed when this was unveiled. Lots of lemon throughout with racy acidity and very good density.

Served double blind. Clearly seemed to be old Burgundy. Lots of very mature and ripe fruit with good intensity. Still enjoyable, even if slightly long in the tooth.

Served double blind, but easily identified as Loire Sauv Blanc because of a slip-up in the prior blind flint. Very powerful with great, fresh lemon and lime (fruit and zest) with chiseled minerality. Impressed with the layers and nuance already coming through so young.

Tasted double blind. Seemed very Burgundy, but to me 5+ years older than a 2010. Fat and forward orchard and stone fruit, very easy to enjoy, but not seemingly very Meursault to me tonight. More fun than interesting.

Served double blind. Meaty and powerful mature black fruit that came across more ripe than I expect from 1993s. Good balance of red and black fruit with mushroom character and very appealing spice. Moderate length. Very impressive Villages wine. I thought it 1989 Grand or 1er Cru.

Served double blind. Everybody was immediately focused on this glass in the flight, with its sensational mature fruit and equally charming spice. Incredible freshness as well. Several of us thought this top notch 1985! Elegance personified with sensational textures and balance.

Served double blind. Basically popped and poured. Amazing accessible and friendly. Blackberry and plum with everything well integrated and charming spice throughout. Clearly lots of tannin, but so elegant and fine, no harsh elements anywhere. Nobody was surprised this was Bordeaux, but everybody was surprised by 2000.

Served double blind. Earthy, but lots and lots of powerful black fruit, showing just subtle spice. Firm but with fruit that isn't about to fade away. Maybe it was just late in the evening, maybe it was the pairing with a wine obviously Bordeaux, but this was difficult for most of us to figure out.

Tasted double blind. Came across as rather extreme, with an ultra lush and ripe character that made me think this was New World. Very impressive depth of flavors, but this just came across as top heavy and slightly off kilter. Once unveiled, it confirmed my historical preference for Kracher TBAs that weren't at the extreme high end of the numbering scheme.

Tasted double blind. Lots of dried apricot with impressive concentration. Botrytis is not particularly dominant here, but everything work together in good balance and a textural lightness that can be very enjoyable in sweet wines.
