France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Definitely a treat to drink what I believe is the first vintage of Coche CC. Very mature, in it's late stage, but in perfect condition and incredibly enjoyable. Of note was the intensity. Great wine and a great bottle.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
Another great bottle of the 91 Chambertin. Great vintage, great producer, great vineyard - all coming together perfectly. Loved it. Not decanted in advance, opened at dinner then enjoyed over three hours.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
The least impressive of our quartet (91,01,02,05) and therefore the biggest disappointment. It was strict and closed relative to many fantastic bottles I've enjoyed over the years. Nothing particular seemed off, it just was "fine". Probably the bottle. Decanted briefly around 5pm, then enjoyed over a three hour dinner.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
Added to a Rousseau Chambertin mini-vertical primarily due to all the great notes here. Unlike many 2005's, this has entered its drinking window. Having said that, it is clearly in the very early stages of that window. Deep, rich, structured. A very good wine. Decanted briefly around 5pm, then enjoyed over a three hour dinner.

I'm a broken record on this wine. Young, but approachable and charming. Love it.

Showing it's age but in perfect shape. Started slow, but opened quite nicely after half an hour and really blossomed. Very good.
