Full pink. Herbal, licorice nose. Medium weight, pleasing texture. Full of anise, black fruit, and character. Lightly tannic finish. Excellent rosé.

Full yellow, transient fine bead. Aromatic mix of black fruit and biscuit. Medium to full bodied, expansive and powerful in the mouth. Creamy and fresh with rising bitter citrus. Great Champagne that continually got better with 3 hours of air. Twenty or thirty more years of life here, I'd guess.

Medium yellow. Dried stone fruit on the nose. Dry, excellent acidity, only the barest of mature Riesling tones. Wonderful balance of power and elegance for an Austrian Riesling at this level.

Light ruby center, garnet outer third. Engaging aromas of pine, pungent red fruit, and anise. Medium weight, flowing feel on the palate with well integrated acidity and remaining tannins supporting deep, discretely ripe fruit and a vein of earth. Nothing too strapping or brutal here, just a beautiful Corton at its early peak. Impressive.

Same bottle as noted by EKessler below. Deep color for its age, a shade darker than a 1996 Grand Cru Burgundy drunk alongside it. Peppery, herbal, black fruit nose. Elegant medium weight. Similar flavors with all elements well meshed but not yet completely resolved. I got the sense that a bottle in this condition could still improve and sweeten with more time-amazing!!

Deep golden with hint of amber. Exquisite high toned perfume along with crême brulée and apricot notes. Not huge in the mouth but seamless with a pure beam of fruit, fantastic acidity, and great length. One could go on and on about a wine like this, but suffice it to say that it was a great privilege and treat to drink.
