  • 1996 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    nose - salt plum, savory, slightly sweaty sock
    mouth - earthy, complex, dark fruit. after 15 minutes in the glass this was absolutely singing revealing waves of dark fruit with a rich mature quality to it. notes of plum leather, asian spice, balsamic vinegar, and burnt sugar all appreciated. hoping for a last glimpse at the end of the evening, it was not to be, as everyone had finished their glass to the last drop. Many thanks to PB for this grand wine.

  • 2009 Louis Jadot Grands-Echezeaux

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru

    nose - raspberry, cherry
    mouth - lively, sexy spiced fruit, exhilarating and clean. Brian sensed a peppery quality. velvet mouthfeel. quite a polished feminine wine though made it a rather new world style. However, I dont see this acquiring much complexity

  • 1989 Château Lafite Rothschild

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    Thanks to big Mike for bringing this out. Purchased on release. Good god, in the early 90s the only think i was purchasing was binders and loose-leaf paper.

    nose -savory, sois-bois, perfumed, wet hay, olive, sexy and very fragrant nose
    mouth - nicely integrated, very pure and still very fresh melange of red and dark fruits. absolutely classic. drink now or hold.
