Introduction

Day 2 @ Ecco Zurich. I love this Restaurant. Great Food, Location and Service. Again perfectly matched up with the menu. Thanks Stefan.

Day 2 of Richard Juhlin's Top 100.
The first flight was amazing with Selosse Les Carelles 03/04/05, CdM 2000 and VVF 1996. No words needed. CdM at his Peak. Tremendous

Flight 1 (1 Note)

Reductive, fresh, great

  • 2002 Louis Roederer Champagne Vintage Brut 94 Points

    France, Champagne

    (2/25/2019)

    From Magnum, not blind
    As starter before the Richard Juhlin T op 100 Tasting Part
    very youthful, reductive, blindly I would guess DP, wet stones, goose berry, some herbals, at least ten more years, no oxidation signs, no roasted aromas, perfect bubbles. If you like it fresher than it is at his peak. I would give him at least 10 more years. 94

Flight 2 (3 Notes)

Flight of the Weekend, CdM briefly in front of Les carelles, VVF perfect to food

  • NV Jacques Selosse Champagne Grand Cru Lieux-dits Extra Brut Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Les Carelles 99 Points

    France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru

    (2/25/2019)

    Vintages 03/04/05, disgorged 2013
    Not blind. What a start into the tasting.

    Typical Selosse nose, tropical fruits, pineapple, mandarines, yuzu, brutally fresh, dense, complex, roasted pine nuts, gaining with time and air. unbelivable pure and great acidity structure. At least 10 more years. No oxidation signs as often accused. 98-99

  • 2000 Krug Champagne Clos du Mesnil 99 Points

    France, Champagne

    (2/25/2019)

    Not blind
    Suprisingly a stunner. By far the best champagne from my not beloved 2000 vintage. powerfull, more CdM than Krug, pure elegance, great density, at his peak, minimal honey note and barely nuts. citrus dominated. The wine of the afternoon. By narrow in front of Selosse. 99

  • 1996 Bollinger Champagne Vieilles Vignes Françaises 97 Points

    France, Champagne

    (2/25/2019)

    Not blind
    Great wine but for me 3rd place in the flight with CdM 2000 and Selosse Les Carelles. Feels more riped in palate than the other two ones (I know it is older). More winey, denser, you feel the oak use. Three years ago fresher and more precise. Great acidity. Fitting perfect to food because of its concentration. 96-97. For me and overall 3rd place in this flight

Krug's 1982 at his peak

Flight 6 (3 Notes)

A phantastic Les Pierrieres and an elegant Creux d'enfer

Too young

    Switzerland, Genève

    (2/26/2019)

    Bottle no 751, not blind
    A great Chardonnay but in the moment oak dominated, some vanilla but great acidity structure. Alcohol not perfectly integrated, Needs 2-3 more yaers to get balanced. 92-93
