Introduction

Gary, Leslie, Kelsey, Colleen, Phil and I went for an amazing gastronomic experience and decided to create a special flight to accompany. The following are my thoughts from the morning after.

Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2003 Marcel Lapierre Morgon 91 Points

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon

    Slight variation to the last bottle but again a nice showing. Beautiful strawberries, raspberries and cherries. This time the difference was a zingie backbone. Added a nice depth to the wine.

  • 2002 Domaine des Varoilles Charmes-Chambertin 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru

    Deep and complex but very focused. Very interesting tastes taking you for a nice tour of Burgundy. Terrior with nice barnyard and earthy components. Beautiful red fruits, cherry, cassie, strawberries. Floral hints. Very nicely balanced and smooth.

  • 2007 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 92 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    Great wine. Decanted for a good hour. Amazing mouth feel. Bold and focused. Red fruits, earthy, liquorish... complex. Highly enjoyable on its way up. Hold.

  • 2001 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 90 Points

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley

    Decanted for 2 and a half hours. Big wine with a nice entrance. Flavor of coconut on the mid palate through the finish when we started to drink it. Later the coffee/tobacco smells were apparent. Not super oakie. Red fruits, strawberries also showing strongly in the mid palate. This flavor reminded me of the first wine of the night the Lapierre Morgon 2003.
