Flight 1 - 2014 Flight (6 Notes)

Flight 2 - 2017 Flight (5 Notes)

  • 2017 Henri Prudhon & Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru sur Gamay Blanc 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru

    Blind. Very bright aromas with orchard fruit, minerality and a hint of matchstick. Very crisp and acid-driven palate that also appears to be slightly compact due to reduction right now. Lots of upside as this settles in. My 4/5, Group #4.

  • 2017 Domaine Darviot-Perrin Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

    Blind. Huge nose that is chock-full of primary, creamy, toasty, spicy orchard fruit. The palate follows suit with a power-driven profile and loads of rich, creamy while also bright and energetic fruit. Floral finish. Delicious now with upside. My 2/5, Group #2.

  • 2017 Jean-Claude Ramonet Puligny-Montrachet 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet

    Blind. Pretty nose of lemon-lime, orchard fruit and florals. Palate is richly fruited with nice power and balance. Came across a bit simple. When told there was village wine in the otherwise 1er cru lineup, most called this as the village wine. (although then another village bottle turned up, which was mistakingly inserted as a 1er). My 5/5, Group #5.

  • 2017 Francois Carillon Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet

    Blind. This built depth and momentum as it sat in the glass. Bright, mineral-driven nose. Palate is acid driven with primary, lively fruit that is plush and engaging. Plenty of taut acidity in a chewy finish. Upside from here. My 3/5, Group #1. 1er quality village wine.

  • 2017 Domaine du Chateau de Meursault Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

    Blind. I found this to be the most serious wine in the flight that showed it's greatness with contemplation as its still not an obvious wine. The nose is intriguing if a little modest right now with spice, minerals, honeyed nuts and pure fruit. Palate is already delicious and with time shows serious depth and complexity with orchard, tropical and citrus fruit, florals and spice. Long floral and citrus oil finish just lingers. Terrific wine. My 1/5, Group #3.

Flight 3 - Blind Syrah with Grilled Lamb Chops (2 Notes)

  • 1996 Penfolds Grange 94 Points

    Australia, South Australia

    Blind. Full, lifted nose with abundant black fruit made complex with evergreen, mint, spice and sweet herbs. The palate has rich and incredibly youthful, fresh fruit. Tasted ten years old, not twenty-five years old. Should hold for multiple decades. Fairly easy to peg as Australian Shiraz, but you'd think it's much younger.

  • 1996 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 96 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Blind. Gorgeous nose that doesn’t stop and is addictingly engaging — dried black fruit, smoked meat, olive brine, black pepper, dried florals and new leather. Wow. Delicious with plentiful plush fruit and balancing structure. Complex and long. Most certainly Cote Rotie, though i was leaning towards 1998.
