Introduction

Peter S, Jesper, Peter G and Gorm went out for a night of great food and wine...

Flight 1 (8 Notes)

  • 1996 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 95 Points

    France, Champagne

    Light yellow. Intense and deep nose of sour yellow fruit (very pure and lemon like), dried flowers and some lightly nutty aromas. Shows great BdB elegance married to intensity and a clearly defined "96" acid. Also some Mesnil chalky minerality.

  • 1979 Trimbach Riesling Clos Ste. Hune 95 Points

    France, Alsace

    Nice yellow that doesn't reveal too much age. Delicious nose of motor oil, smoked fruit and intense minerality. In the mouth this is fat yet well-defined with good underlying acidity and the same delicious notes as the nose (the motor oil gradually blows off).

  • 2002 Domaine Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet 96 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

    Light yellow. Incredible nose of dried licorice root, yellow fruit, vanilla, burned caramel and hints of gunpowder. This is very powerful yet seductive like only the greatest white grand cru burgs can be.

  • 2001 Domaine Leroy Richebourg 96 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    Muddy red - classic Leroy look. Spicy nose with soy, black tea and red berries. Seems a bit closed down but with great intensity and persistence. Drinks well but has even greater potential.

  • 1989 Domaine Leroy Romanée St. Vivant 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru

    Dark colored. Spicy nose with sour cherries. A good deal of acidity, but very fresh and youthful. Impressive!

  • 1961 Château Palmer 95 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Maybe not at its very best anymore but still pretty incredible for a nearly 50 year old wine... dark red, intense nose of soy, currants, tar and pencil. Great marriage of elegance and structure.

  • 1989 Château Palmer 96 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Served together with the '61. This is darker is color and much more youthful but still recognizable in style. In many ways this tastes like '61 essence. Not bad at all even though it did have a few sharp corners.

  • 2000 Roberto Voerzio Barolo Cerequio 96 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Dark red. Dark and dense nose with christmas spices, dark cherries and tar. Very powerful in mouth with lots of structure, but also copious amounts of black fruit kept in check by underlying acidity and good spicyness.
