Clos Vougeot Lunch (Paradise Valley, AZ USA): Served blind. Slight browning at the edges, softer and sweeter fruit than the others in the flight. The only knock against this is a touch of burnt rubber that wafts through. The reveal was quite surprising, this is a 1985 that drinks like a wine 10-15 years younger.

(Mostly) Burgundy Dinner with Friends (Republique - Los Angeles CA): So sad, slightly corked. It would have been great to enjoy alongside the Grivot 1985 Richebourg.

Another lost Friday afternoon gathering – 96 Dom, 08 Cristal and a Rudy blend (Blacksalt, Washington DC): It seems like a correct example. Dirty damp cellar, a bit green and soy.
