Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • 1982 Domaine Ramonet Montrachet 96 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru

    stunning nose of toasted almonds and sweet minerals. rich and complex. got better and better. perhaps let down by a lightly weak and fading finish.

Flight 2 (3 Notes)

  • 2000 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg 89 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    somewhat lacking in depth and complexity. a little one-dimensional. some thought new world-like. not among the favourites tonight.

  • 1998 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    initially tight and muted, but much better after half an hour in glass. muscular and well defined. good complexity. i like the tension in the finish. classy juice.

  • 2001 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    rich, intense and long. still pretty tightly wound but great structure and finesse. for me not as exciting as the 98 at this juncture.

Flight 3 (2 Notes)

  • 1995 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    most developed of all bottles tonight. secondary aromas abound. murky colour. structure not as well defined as others.

  • 1996 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    better than the 95 side by side. ripe, rich and earthy. good drinking window now. perhaps a touch of over extraction on palate.

Flight 4 (2 Notes)

  • 1999 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    WOTN for me. showing beautifully after an hour in decanter. expressive aromas of black fruits and earth. good structure. will surely be even better given more time.

  • 2002 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg 91 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    surprisingly open knit after an hour in decanter. ripe and long, but i was a little put off by the overwhelming oak.
