2010 Billecart-Salmon Champagne Brut Rosé

Pretty coppery salmon color with a fine mousse. Not as aromatic as I would have liked, but there are lovely smells of strawberry, red cherry, lemon custard, and baking bread. Much less fruit on the palate than on the nose. Plenty of flavors of chalk, violets and lavender, fresh bread that dominated the delicate fresh red fruit. The acidity is pleasantly high. And that is the perfect word for this wine- pleasant. Though perhaps not know your socks off. I'm agnostic about aging this further.

2017 Weingut Clemens Busch Marienburg Rothenpfad Riesling Reserve

Smells rich and lemony with a light touch of creme fraiche in the background. High acidity, without being shrill. Body is medium with a small amount of viscosity that is nonetheless noticeable. The initial flavors are where this wine shine- fresh and baked lemons, custard, slate rocks, a wonderful subtle caramel that is starting to creep in that is super delicious. Very well made and just starting to move out of its primary phase. Perfect spot to drink for my palate, though it will hold for a while yet.

1999 Domaine Arlaud Charmes-Chambertin

What a bummer. This is a Grand Cru?! No way. The bottle looked to be in perfect shape, intact cork soaked about half way up. A tiny hint of browning right at the rim, but otherwise the wine looks fine. This is 25 yrs old after old.
Not fragrant at all- some red fruits, a bit of leather, you really have to go hunting around for aromas. Good acid in the mouth, some powdery tannins, red cherries, other nondescript red fruits, leather. Finish is decently long. Started to decline after a few hours open.
I really think this was a sound bottle. It wasn't cooked, oxed, corked, anything like that. But jeez, for what this wine should be, the complexity, concentration, and just plain impact is sorely lacking. And it's EXPENSIVE. Somewhat pleasant at best. If you told me this was a Bourgogne rouge from a middling producer I'd believe you. Not worth it at all.
