France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
In a word, sexy. Maturing very nicely, still on the edge of primary (just on the edge). Delicious, and will be great to drink as it matures further. Actually it was great today.

For my palate, this bottle was still showing brutally young. It had a lot of the 05 vintage characteristic, which for me is "will it ever come around"? A good wine underneath, but still hiding.

A great showing, very enjoyable. A real beauty. Like many 2010's this can be drunk now with pleasure, but will likely be even better with age. A wine worth seeking out.

All in all, another gorgeous and classic 1991 burgundy. Iodine on the palate, tertiary elements. Outstanding.

2002 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
This showed very well, and was more accessible than the 02 Ponsot served along side it. A delicious wine.

Strong tannins, more structured than the 02 Dujac served along side. A good bottle, and terrific with food.

A delightful Sauternes, if not profound.

Thick as motor oil, and one of the most concentrated tastes of wine you could imagine. A unique and pleasurable experience.
