2005 La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Bousse d'Or

Wow! What a stunning showing of this wine last night. Consumed out of a 3L bottle, the wine hit its stride right out of the bottle. Despite our fears that it might be closed, the opposite was true. The wine has an earthy elegance that made many of us think of Morey St. Denis rather than the Cote de Beaune. Beautifully well rounded, voluptuous, open and paired perfectly with Chef Brendan Sodikoff's gastropub cuisine in Chicago. Consumed with friends Kelly Walker, Erwan Faiveley and Bernard Hervet and friends. Before we knew it, the 3L bottle was empty!

1985 Château Pavie

A lovely wine with much finesse and understated elegance. No jagged edges, the wine is fully mature with a silky softness on the palate and a somewhat restrained nose. On the nose, there is black truffle and earth with a "come to me" quietness. On the palate, the wine is reasonably complex with notes of black truffle, red and black fruits, and a very merlot smoothness. Nice finish. In all, quite a lovely wine before the current, more modern style change.

1977 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

Bought at auction and was DOA...cork was very brittle, and despite a hint of greatness on the nose, the wine was almost vinegar. Obviously poor storage. Down the drain for this one.
