Burgundy-Report

  (Romanée-Conti Montrachet) Tasted blind. Medium colour. The nose starts a little tight with some barrel notes, then marzipan, pear-drops slowly becoming a little spicy and creamy. The palate just makes you say 'Ooh!'. It's amazingly complex, long, long, long and ever-changing. Gorgeous texture, simply a tour de force. The multidimensional palate was exactly as I remembered the 2002, but the acidity seemed less gushing than when last tasted, so I made a flying guess at a lower acid vintage - 1997 - I was wrong it was the 02!

  (Romanée-Conti Montrachet) Less than half the production of Romanée-Conti. Pale gold. Gives up a wide, indeed panoramic nose with a medium butterscotch depth and a spicy – though not detracting – wood note. The most striking aspect of this wine (for me) is the sweet, almost gushing, acidity, you’re washed along the rapids (my wife points out that it’s cheaper to go white-water rafting) followed by a momentary lull before the wave that is the finish hits you. It’s a really fit wine, no added fat – all my analogies seem to involve speed – like a racehorse and one that sprints rather than slows to the line. The finish lasts fully 2 minutes, this is a special experience.

  (DRC Monrachet) Big fat, honeyed nose with coffee, butterscotch but there was something extra this year. There was an intense figgy element that was amazing. So clearly defined with great breadth and depth. This is one of the greatest noses I have ever smelled on a young white Burg. This wine is typically oaky on the nose when young which it was today but it was so well integrated with so many things peeking out. After around 15 minutes truffles added even more complexity. I could not get my nose out of the glass. Palate was fat and unctous but did not show that much botrytis. Just waved of candied melon, lemon, figs, mineral. So dense yet with perfect acidity. This was the thickest wine on the table but also had an amazingly light touch. Huge amplitude on the palate with a finish overflowing with nuts, lemon and melon. Amazing.
