Echezeaux Extravaganza: Fully mature example of the master. This was just a bit more evolved than the pair of 89s. Had a lot of the tertiary elements to make it interesting. Wonderful

WOTN against some 83 DRC and Vogüe. This was classic and textbook Jayer. Super clean and pure red fruit. Very high toned in nature. Lots of minerality and balance to this wine. Light yet powerful. A perfectly aged Burg that has plenty of life left. A real treat.

WTF impromtu event (Wine Vault): This was quite ready from the time we pulled the cork but did improve in the glass. What would otherwise have been a star in its own right was eclipsed by the 89 and 91 Cros P today.

There’s a wisp of smoke that runs through the wine as it breathes and it really is a lovely drink of good complexity and texture. It is sweet and meaty and the length of flavour is admirable.

Echezeaux Extravaganza: Henri Jayer and DRC 1976-2007 (La Grenouille, New York): Perfect balance. Structured wine with great depth of complex fruit. Black cherries stand out. Gorgeous
