1999 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes

Took a while a while to open up. 5hrs decanted and then drank over 3 hours. Ripe strawberries, raspberries, cherries, plums, forest floor, mushrooms, and spice box/mineral finish. Absolutely delicious.

Quite delicious. A bit austere upon opening like with a lot of soleras. Takes about 1-1.5hrs for it for the fruit to start showing.

NV Ulysse Collin Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 60 mois Les Roises

Dg 2020, 2014 base (seems like CT decided to merge all the UC bottles into the NV category).
On opening it was pretty reductive and tight, but you get a nice feeling for the length of the wine.
Decided to decant it.
Lemon, white peaches, white blossoms, vanilla, crushed rocks, lemon pith, spices, brioche. Very good tension. Good weight and long finish. I couldn't help but to think it was a champagne-ified white burgundy (perhaps something like a corton charlemagne)?
Echoing the others here. Very interesting wine. Very vinous. Fun to drink now but would be great to see how it evolves over time.
