Introduction
After a break from wine events thought about time to get the band back together. Reds are hard on a hot night but wines showed well overall with some chilling.

2010 Faiveley Beaune 1er Cru Clos de l'Ecu 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
A bit better than the last bottle. I would not hold these extremely long. Underbrush, subtle fruits, spice and floral notes. Medium finish and went really well with the salmon spread.

2005 Les Cailloux (Lucien et André Brunel) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Centenaire 93 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Drinking pretty well and a long life ahead. Decanted for 2 hours. Concentrated with licorice, funk, floral notes and damp earth. Longer finish and quite balanced. Should age these another 5 years if you only have a few left otherwise sample and see the evolution of the wine.

2008 Joseph Phelps Insignia 94 Points

Drinking well after a two hour decant. Perfume, floral, spices and red currants. Very smooth wine and balanced. Long finish. Should drink over the next 15 years. For sure needs a solid decant prior to consuming.
