DRC Montrachet Vertical: Interesting material, continued to change in the glass. At first tasted a little bit tired. Eventually it woke up, but still felt like it was a more subtle representation and missing a touch pop and wow factor. Having it up against the 01 powerhouse didn't do it any favors.

some oxidation noted around 30 minutes after opening. Got some marmalade on the nose and very, very buttery, with some vanilla oak. Second pour 1 hour after opening and this got better. Another half hour later and this warmed up and got a little bitter on the palate. More than 2 hours after opening there was a little more toast on the nose. A very beautiful wine.

EL Birthday Dinner (The Garden Table at Le Pavillon): This was a little disappointing. It had a one-note vanilla profile that wasn't very interesting. It wasn't bad but wasn't the vaunted experience I am used to. The weakest DRC Monty I've ever had.

A big wine that needs time to open (which we gave it). It’s truly unique, interesting and beguiling. I suspect this will drink well indefinitely.

1999 DRC Horizontal. My 2nd bottle and sad to say it's even worse than the prior. A nearly tasteless orange cooking wine. Avoid. (3027/3590)
