• 1997 Vilmart & Cie Champagne Premier Cru Grand Cellier Rubis 91 Points

  France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru

  Dry champagne with strict and puristic demeanor - still has a lot of energy and structure, was perhaps hoping for some more body and fruit too show up, but I believe this is still young and tightly knit.

• 1991 M. Chapoutier Ermitage Blanc De L'Orée 86 Points

  France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

  Oxidized and pleasingly complex and mature nose, golden colour, but very thinned out body with not much going on. Agree with previous reviewers who have pointed this out (Paul S and papies i.a.) - 90 for the nose and much lower for the follow up - like a snowboarder who does an impressive trick in the air but then crashlands.

• 1999 Jean Noel Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets 95 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

  Oh, my. Had this at The Burgundy Bar, Stockholm, during St vincents day celebration. Beautful but still understated at first, with all that white truffle/umami/sex appeal building to a crescendo in my mouth. And very well built. Has still some years left for sure but perfect now.

• 1999 Clos du Marquis 92 Points

  France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Julien

  Classic st julien claret but with some oompf from elegant oak treatment. I think this can go many more miles still. Excellent stuff
