Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • NV Tarlant Champagne Cuvée Louis 91 Points

    France, Champagne

    Blind. Initially quite oxidative wi5 some Pinot richness but also a bruised apple Chardonnay character. Settles down we’ll though to show a little fresher and with more energy albeit still in quite a rich style. Interesting. ****

Flight 2 (1 Note)

  • 2014 Julien Pilon Hermitage Prisme 92 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    Pale to mid straw. Lots of apricot kernel on the nose. A pithiness to the richness too. Lovely textural quality with plenty of chew. Good line and length. Consistent with previous bottles. ****

Flight 3 (1 Note)

  • 2010 Maison Ilan Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Monts-Luisants 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru

    Blind. A lovely sweetness of fruit here allied with a lightness of style. Mid to pale ruby with a touch of garnet at the rim. Lovely Ponsotesque sweet-fruited etherealness here. Long and nuanced but light on its feet. Persistent too. Really lovely. ****

Flight 4 (1 Note)

  • 1989 Guasti Clemente Barolo Riserva 91 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Blind. Nicely fragrant. Classic tar with a touch of florality across the top. Nose really deepens to show some dark caramel before lightening again. Initially quite right and linear on the palate, but again it opens to a more floral red fruitedness. Lots of interest here and a progression of senses. ****

Flight 5 (1 Note)

  • 1996 Château Lynch-Bages 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    Blind. Mid ruby to a touch of garnet. Resolved and smooth on the palate. Some mid density soft black currant and a touch of graphite. Gosh, feels more 85 than 96 to me. There’s a pleasant touch of green here too that gets more 78 (albeit with more padding) with air. Smooth and refreshing with a touch of capsicum cut. Lovely. ****

Flight 6 (1 Note)

  • 1995 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Cornas 92 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas

    Blind. Dark, dense and quite tight. Almost a touch of Mourvèdre on the nose. Relaxes and opens to Syrah, and with more air a touch of feral Cornas typicity comes in to play, but gosh this is so much younger and dense than previous bottles of this from the same source. Years left on this showing. Cornas by the end of the glass. ****

Flight 7 (1 Note)

  • 2009 Domaine Macle Château-Chalon 92 Points

    France, Jura, Château-Chalon

    Blind. Mid straw. Lovely nose — has Vin Jaune all over it, probably Ch Chalon. Lots of flor character, but also a smoothness and freshness and a nicely sweet-fruited sense on the mid palate,ate that comes and goes amongst the dryness. Impressive. ****
