Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. From Methuselah, yes you heard right 6L! Aubert de Villaine was there and the team was pouring three different DRC's all from this large format. The 1991 Grand Echezeaux (95pt) showed fully mature forest floor notes with autumn leaves, the 2000 La Tache (96pt) had a similar profile but with a bit more complexity, and the 2019 Corton Charlemagne (97pt) which was my favorite. This wine is racy, flinty, generous but not as opulent as the Montrachet, which I am not such a fan of.

The nose is quite promising and very attracive overall. Mature DRC signature. Fruit is slightly fading in the body and hints of vegetable notes are kicking in. Would drink this now. From Mathusalem.

DRC Montrachet Vertical: Excellent mature red Burg. Tons of complexity and nice acid balance. Drinking in the zone.
