Xmas eve with J and J at Les Amis

The Burgs reign the world

• 1985 Louis Latour Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles 93 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru

  Initially a hint of oxidation which went away quite quickly, giving way to a mature wine with interesting aromas. Quite fat, full-bodied, energetic. Less minerality than in other Chevaliers I recently had. More Batard style perhaps. But good bottle that held up well.

• 1964 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 97 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, La Tâche Grand Cru

  Stunning wine even from a bottle with low levels (probably 6 cm ullage). Loved the sweetness, feel of harmony, very good length and the evolving nose - got some rose petals, some quite exotic spice. Another great Xmas eve experience.

• 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echezeaux 94 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru

  Drank this after the LT 1964 with J&J at Les Amis. Loved the wine, floral, feels very young, red berries, a bit of spice, pleasant acidity levels. Thought this has still a lot in store.

• 1983 Château Mouton Rothschild 89 Points

  France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

  really difficult following the DRC's for the Mouton to make an impact. Pleasant wine, well evolved, but not one on which I would bet my future at this stage.
