I've worked in New York, Nantucket and California as a Sommelier and Wine Director for 8 years. I am now working with a French wine importer (Rayas and Jayer you say?) I am currently studying for the Master Sommelier Diploma as I passed the Advanced Exam recently.

Unlike the below note, the cork looked like it was out of a 5 year old bottle. Started out rather neutral, but with a little air, the nose was redolent of peppermint, perfumed flowers, dried honey and minerals. Generous but lithe on the palate with notes echoing the nose plus ripe dried yellow and green pears. Perfectly integrated acid and minerality on the long finish.

1988 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut

Bottle may have been open several hours, so hard to score. Intense nose of autolysis, caramel, baked quince, creamy butterscotch and preserved lemon. Full bodied with classic aged krug qualities. Rich oaky oxidative dried apple and quince with butterscotch, autolysis, preserved lemon and chalk. Long finish. Must have been a stunner fresh after opening. Potential 96.

2008 Domaine Ostertag Pinot Gris Fronholz

Unexpected oak! Not typical but delicious. Dominated by yellow apple and asian pear with white fig, creamy meyer lemon, vanilla, wax, butterscotch and gardenia. On the palate, ripe yellow apple and pear, meyer lemon, fresh cream, ginger, vanilla butterscotch, and a quartzy minerality. Clean on the palate with a slightly bitter finish (typical of Pinot Gris, not a in a faulty way). Reminds me of very well made Pinot Blanc from Nuits St Georges in a way.
