I arrived late for lunch. It was very warm out. This really hit the spot. Apple, citrus and toasted walnut came through, and then voila, there was no more Champagne in my glass.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
From magnum. Ripe with lots of power, but also the textures to maintain excellent balance. Large, long and persistent start-to-finish. Good now, getting better. An exceptional wine for its price.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Red and. Black cherry, slightly backward, with good spice. Firm. Seemingly at a reticent phase in its evolution but with the substance to improve. Give this more time.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Nicely mature red fruit on nose and palate, but this is all about the sweet baking spice the is easy to admire and adore. At its absolute peak just about now. Yum.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
Earth and very nice spice that comes as very Vosne-like, but with a far advanced level of evolution that detracted from the overall level of enthusiasm for this wine. Philippe said another recent bottle from the same case was much better.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
I think I got the spelling correct for this obscure (at best) negociant. Plenty of mature red fruit hat is still vibrant, with great spice. Good length, great elegance.

Lots of earth, moderate fruit. More firm structure than what I would like for the given level of fruit and spice. Ok.
