Rosé - Sparkling
N.V. Famille Moussé Champagne 'Rosé Éffusion' Extra Brut France, Champagne
87 points
Good textures, lots of berry with rounded textures, just a finish much more tart than I prefer.
White
2011 Jean Noel Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
92 points
Intensely floral with lots of apple and some lemon curd. Fleshy start, more elegant finish. Very good now.
White
2005 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru
Rich, but getting tired. Good when popped-and-poured, then much less interesting 20 minutes later.
White
2010 Cameron Blanc Clos Electrique USA, Oregon
91 points
Ripe apple and pear with enticing floral and spice support. Similarly rich flavors with good concentration, soft textures and good length. Maturing slightly faster than I might hope / expect, but at a very good place now.
Red
1997 Louis Jadot Mazis-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
91 points
Fully mature black cherry with woodsy, savory spice and plenty of earth. Very clear Grand Cru density. My previous bottle from the same case was slightly better/ fresher 4-5 years ago.
Red
2007 Domaine Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
91 points
Bright black cherry and berry with roasted meat. Still very fresh and vibrant with a long, lively finish.
Red
1986 Château Saint-Pierre St. Émilion Grand Cru France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
flawed
Corked
Red
1985 Château Léoville Las Cases France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
91 points
Lots of bold black fruit with powerful tannins that are softening gracefully. Still not perfectly harmonious to me. Some others liked this more than I did tonight, considering it their WOTN.
Red
2010 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
92 points
Red and black strawberry aromas and flavors with sneaky structure and very impressive length. Very elegant finish. Just starting to show its full potential, best 2020 forward.
White - Sweet/Dessert
1989 Château Rieussec France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes
89 points
Mature and dried apricot with slightly more earth than I expected and a slightly dirty character. I doubt there is upside.
