A very nice evening at the "Schwarzer Adler" with unique wines.

  Powerfull White Burgundy, perfectly balanced, well integrated oak, strong minerality, beautiful nose and a long finish.
  Very good wine, but way to expensive :)

• 1991 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. Vivant 92 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru

  My first DRC :) A very good Burgundy, but no epiphany :) Nose was very decent, good taste, complex, minerality, long finish. Still lots of Tannins, could age several more years.
  Perfectly stored and served bottle, drunk out of Riedel "Fishbowl" Glass.
  Nice wine, unique experience, but IMHO not worth the price tag...

  Oh, what a surprise. We ordered a Half bottle, but the cellar of the "Schwarzer Adler" must be perfect. The bottle came out of the cellar as it was just filled and corked. Young, deep purple color, lots of cassis, no sign of ageing yet. Needs at least 10-20 years to ripen and develop complexity. Bad luck for us....
