Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée 91 Points

    France, Champagne

    .Fairly recent disgorgement. Reasonably typical on the nose. Nicely balanced but also surprisingly mellow initially though it dies tighten up in the glass before relaxing again and showing some Krug richness. **(**)

Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • 2001 Trimbach Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile 94 Points

    France, Alsace

    Single blind. Tighter and more mineral on the nose. Shows more petrol character with aeration. Righter and more minerally on the palate. Brooding intensity but very precise and with fantastic line. Assume CSH. ****1/2

  • 2001 Trimbach Riesling Clos Ste. Hune 91 Points

    France, Alsace

    Single blind. Quite a rich, slightly waxy, ripe, rounded nose. Quite tropical. A little rounder and slightly more difuse on the nose. Seems a little warmer and with a little less to say. Very good indeed though. Assume CFE. It does become a little more focused and mineral with air. ****

Flight 5 (3 Notes)

  • 1962 Domaine Louis Remy Chambertin 82 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru

    .Pale garnet. Very evolved, old nose. Drinkable but no character, just old wine. (**)*

  • 2002 Domaine Louis Remy Chambertin 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru

    .Quite a light, lifted, red-fruited nose. Lighter and more ethereal than the Latricieres. Quite full, open and honest on the palate. Inviting fruit. Bright and vibrant whilst retaining depth. ****1/2

  • 1998 Domaine Louis Remy Chambertin 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru

    .Again, a lighter and more ethereal nose cf the Latricieres. It's got that sense if openness of red fruit on the nose, but tighter and slightly more tannic on the finish. **(**)

Flight 6 (2 Notes)

  • 2001 Henri Jouan Clos St. Denis 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos St. Denis Grand Cru

    Half a bottle, open 8 hrs and apparently faded somewhat. Slightly dusty red fruited nose. Quite good weight and length but really quite approachable. A touch rustic and a little rough around the edges in an unkempt rather than unruly sense. Good density to the fruit but again, Jouan doesn't wow me. ***1/2

  • 1996 Château Rieussec 89 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes

    Half. Quite a deep old gold. Nicely barley sugared. Deep and rich but with a slightly medicinal edge on the palate. An austere rather than coconut cream Rieussec. ***
