EL Birthday Dinner (The Garden Table at Le Pavillon): The nose was so DRC. It jumped out of the glass with a high pitch and strong attitude. You couldn't miss it. This needs much more time. Unlike the other bottles that were somewhere towards the middle/end of their window, I felt like we are at the very beginning here. Noticeable structure and tannins. Roundness just starting. Give this time.

Perfectly stored example. Expressive youthful nose displaying gentle round red fruit, raspberry jam, cherry juice, strong sous bois and Vosne spice, porcini and truffle, light caramel, sap and earth. Perfectly integrated palate, layers upon layers of elegant sweet red fruit, expressive yet fluid and weightless, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a seamless long elegant sweet red fruit driven finish with Vosne spice at the end. This is drinking incredibly well.

Funk on the nose, grippy tannins still present. Got a little better with more air and certainly more interesting than the 83 echezeaux drank next to this. But just not my cup of tea in the company we had tonight. Enjoyed the more modern wines 1990’s and beyond. Or 1980’s and before.

This is stunning. Beautiful clarity of color. Delicate floral, lifted aromatics. Incredible purity on palate. Retains sweetness and acidity. (157/15955)

(Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands-Echezeaux) Light medium brownish color with floating clouds of sediment and clear meniscus; sweet and sour, plum sauce nose; very mature, tart and dried plum and dried berry with some port-like flavor, very faded; medium finish
(Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands-Echezeaux) Cloudy brownish color with pale yellow meniscus; mature VA and tea nose; tart red fruit and lime palate with, nonetheless, more grip and interest than such a description might suggest; medium finish 92 pts.

La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers - New York NY): A fascinating comparison to our 1990-2010 vertical, this was fully mature with as much earth and fruit, layered with tertiary notes that added charming nuance, but less weight or attention-grabbing substance.
