A great time was had by all. All bottles delivered and I enjoyed every wine. Perhaps I was hoping for at least one more magical bottle. The only one that could aspire to this elevated status was the Millénaires - superb champagne - but the others fell just short. The Mouton could have been that bottle, had the palate fullfilled the promise of the nose. I do belive that the Chaillot can be something extraordinary 10-15 years down the line but for now it just hint at its potential. It was great to see the '99 Jaboulet deliver! I included it mostly as a contrast to the other two wines and had no high hopes beforehand. This is the second year running we arrange a dinner on Good Friday so now it's more or less tradition. See you next year!

Quite rich bouquet. Intense, almost sweet, kind of like liquid rhubarb pie. Lots of fragrant flowers: honeysuckle, lillies, lilacs, but on the palate fresh and energetic. Like it!
