1996 Georges Lignier et Fils Bonnes Mares 90 Points

From a magnum, cork fell in when opening, in fact there were noticeable leak when it was brought from Singapore to Hong Kong. Fruits mostly gone, all tertiary notes with good acid. Probably no the best condition

NV Ruppert-Leroy Champagne Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Martin-Fontaine 91 Points
France, Champagne
100% C, base 2019, disgorged April 2022, Brut nature. Took a while for it open up. Initially was a little funky but slowly open up to reveal an elegant rounded aroma, slight naturalist on the palate with high acid. A little awkward on the palate probably needs a little time to integrate.

2015 Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Blanc
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
From a magnum. Ripe fruits on the nose well balanced with good acid and precise palate. Would have prefer a leaner white, for the vintage it fare well.

2014 Domaine Duroché Latricières-Chambertin 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru
Differing opinion here, I felt this was pure and clean with some tertiary notes compared to the 2017 ESJ. One agree with me but another felt 2017 was purer.

2017 Domaine Duroché Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles-St.-Jacques 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
There is a little funk on the nose but palate was exceptional. Again others think otherwise alongside the 2014 Latricieres.

Poured by the man who awarded it 100 pt. 17 years in oak, yet some youthful with notes of minty and great freshness for a 23 years old. Seamless front to finish. Amazing Spanish wine.
