Everything a grand marque should be. Brioche and lemon curd and perfect texture and fine mousse and length.

Incisive, bright, and young as heck. Good length, but outclassed in this tasting against aged Cameron and White burg. Good upside. A bit of oak still to be subsumed.

I expected this to best the White Burg but it was a different animal, with a hint of sweetness on the nose (not the palate) and a roundness that put it in a different class from the Chassagne-Montrachets, which were a bit more incisive. A great wine on its own, but gave a riper feeling than anticipated.

Excellent, if not quite reflective of being 100 feet from Montrachet. Good length and fineness. Well layered oak gave a sense of butteriness. Excellent wine overall.

A beauty - a hint of matchstick and white flowers on a nose of lemon and white fruit. Subsumed oak lent a bit of depth and persistence. A lovely wine and more reflective of Puligny than Chassagne.

Firmly New World and predictable as such. Lovely notes of cola, pomegranate and dark red berries. Exquisite texture. Needs a decade to be at its finest, but tannins are fairly soft. Still just felt young to me.

Incredible. Blew multiple excellent Burgundies out of the water. This was a late release from the Lett family, recorked (in DIAM) at the winery. Vivid red berries and a touch of earth. The sunkissed nature of Oregon was there, and it did not have the structure of a Grand Cru, which is seemingly a good thing - all its own and as good as old Oregon gets as far as I'm concerned.

A thoroughly meh wine. A bit cloudy of nose, with indistinct dark berry and abundant earth, a good bit of residual tannin.

A "nice Burgundy" but nothing more - dark fruited, medium weight, good earth tones and strong acidity but, honestly, not an overly intense 1996 acidity. This is very drinkable, just not quite at the typical level I expect from Chevillon. One word: rustic.

Incredible, deep fruited and clearly the "La Landonne" look-alike with a fairly burly and rich Syrah nose. The meat and smoke was there, with less white pepper. Wonderful length. This impressed.

The "La Turque" of the three. This had, to my tastes, the best combination of classic Northern Rhone elements - smoked meat, brine, flowers, white pepper - and dark fruit. Great length and depth but texturally right between the lighter Exposition 3 and the rounder Exposition 1. Really a great trio together and, as a serious Northern Rhone drinker, this was as close as I've seen a New World wine approach Cote Rotie.

The "La Mouline" of the trio, with higher viognier balanced with a lower whole cluster percentage. Wonderful depth and length but a more floral and nuanced nose than the Exposition 1. Kudos to Morgan on this.

Burly, Bretty, pretty, rustic. All there, if not the most striking or elegant wine. Enjoyable.

Badly, sadly corked.

A nice wine but fairly obviously new world. Decent length and good flavor. A bit outclassed by its company. Still, Carole Meredith is my hero.

An excellent Dominus, with classic sunny dark fruits, a touch of green pepper, and excellent length. A smooth and pretty wine.

Old California doesn't get like this. Almost every experienced wine taster's WOTN in a crowded field. This was perfect in texture, First Growth Bordelaise in poise and length. Soft and resolved red fruits, leather and tobacco, a touch of green pepper and just an etheral note to it.

Didn't get much eucalyptus from this, and this had a slightly more ripe nose than its brethren, but it was still incredibly good and 1992 is really a sleeper vintage, coming in just before RMP's influence really trashed the next 20 years.

Maybe a touch softer and less dense than the 1982, but this is just perfect Bordeaux.

Loved by everyone, classic Margaux spice and litheness, and better than it had been touted. Third in the flight after the 83 Mayacamas and the 86 Gruaud, but only by a touch.

Warm toffee, burnt orange, excellent balance. Youthful.

Wonderful madeira. Youthful, bright, balanced. Saline and butterscotchy with orange rind and a bit of marzipan. Great persistence.
