1996 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Lots of VA on the nose. Light mid-palate and feels a bit thin, lacking some depth of fruit to balance out the volatility.

1995 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Open for business in that fully mature plateau phase. Great fruit and acid that continued to develop over the course of the evening.

1996 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
A step up from the '95, however not as open for business. I think the '96 needs more time to continue to develop, however, with a couple of hours of air, this did start to open and show a great depth and purity of fruit.

1990 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Mazy-Chambertin 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
Darker fruit and less vibrant than some of the other cuvées, this was a bit of an outlier. Mature, but lacking some interest and more integrated tannins.

1996 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin-Clos de Bèze 96 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Amazing density and depth of flavor. This needed some air, but started roaring into business fairly quickly. Much more open than some other '96s I've had recently.

1989 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
No favors being paired with the '96 Beze, this showed a bit light and simple.

1999 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
So, very tight. I just don't know if '99s will ever come around or if maybe they will be just coming into stride for the next centennial celebration.

Beautiful color, the nose really jumps out of the glass. Light strawberry notes. Lovely.

1976 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
Bursting from the glass with layer upon layer of bright fruit aromas. Palate was deep and finish was extremely long and lingering. #2 WOTN.

1988 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin 97 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
Needed air to show true potential, but then it rounded into form with a density and texture that outclassed the '76. Still on the upswing, this wine could be the most amazing bottle I've ever had in another 10 years. WOTN.

1995 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
Still felt young and limited compared to the others. Needs more time.

2001 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
Surprisingly was drinking much more beautifully than the '95. I just love the '01 vintage. Open and ready for business with lovely red fruits.

1976 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 96 Points
France, Champagne
Perfect bottle. This was singing from go. Such depth and precision with an unexpected youthful exuberance and freshness.

1969 Dom Pérignon Champagne P3 98 Points
France, Champagne
Incredibly young and fresh on the front palate, but with a beguiling mid-palate depth and a long and bright finish. This is a nearly perfect champagne experience.

2017 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet 97 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
Late entry. Decanted. This is much more open than the last time I had it a couple of years ago. It's relaxed quite a bit and the acid and fruit have come into much more of a balance. A great drink, just crushable. So glad that I stocked up before prices went through the roof.

1987 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Clos de la Roche
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
Very dark, black fruits. Comments about the rustic nature of CdlR abounded around the table, especially on the heels of the amazing Chambertin flight.

1988 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Clos de la Roche
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
More open than the '87. Had some similarities on the nose to the '88 Chambertin and Beze, moreso than I might have expected. Nice finish.

1994 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Clos de la Roche
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
More comments about the rustic nature of CdlR. This didn't have the elegance of some of the other cuvees, but an enjoyable power.

1999 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Charmes-Chambertin
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
So tight and unyielding, '99s are just closed for business for at least another decade or 3.

Flight 10 - Dessert (2 Notes)
1959 Schloss Reinhartshausen Erbacher Marcobrunn Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 98 Points
Germany, Rheingau
Intoxicating nose that I could be satisfied just smelling for days. Beguiling palate, sweet, but bright and balanced, lots of depth and complexity, extremely exotic. Such a satisfying finish that lingered for an eternity.

1989 Château d'Yquem 96 Points
France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes
Such a wonderful comparison to the TBA, this was also sweet, but more ethereal and elegant. This didn't have the same cloying sweetness, but more bright and balanced. Wonderful, but my vote was for the TBA.

France, Champagne
Still fresh, but very open. Vibrant acid. Great way to open the evening.
