1999 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 93 Points
France, Champagne
(12/10/2023)
Bright white fruit and quite sweet, however paled next to the 96 magnum and a stunning 99 Cristal Vinotheque magnum from the night before. Touch thin and unstructured. 93

1996 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 97 Points
France, Champagne
(12/10/2023)
Magnum OWC. High acidity with plenty of white fruit, less sweet and more focused than the 99 on the side, great energy if still way too young. Lots of oyster, salinity, lime oil, citrus peel, vanilla brioche lightly toasted, and aged cheese. Barely any older since last tasted out of bottle three years ago, and much better on the second day, lightly caressing the palate with insanely crisp impression, so much drive, so many points it hits on the tongue, then so long. Certainly the best rendition of such vintage acidity with a lighter style. Perhaps flawless. 97-99

1990 Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Ruchottes 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
(12/10/2023)
Cheese and sesame, such representative old Ramonet nose. Palate is a touch 1er cru in the face of tough competition, but great on its own. 93-94

2006 Domaine Ramonet Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
(12/10/2023)
Four hours of air, showed much better than a magnum from last month. Notable ripeness but very balanced, a powerful rendition of this wine with edge and fat. Structure is great. 93-94

1989 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges Aux Allots 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges
(12/10/2023)
00962/2300. Consistent with other 89 Leroy I have drunk, on the ripe side with less delineation and certainly not the potpourri profile for which she is known today. Some lychee and red fruit, quite woody, mostly NSG earthiness, iron, mineral. Good cut and much larger than a generic village. Others liked it more than I did. 92-93

1996 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
(12/10/2023)
First bottle shows great delineation and perfume on the nose, clear, defined, meaty, red fruit, but lighter and not quite structured on the palate. Very perfumed for Roumier this age. 94-95

1996 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
(12/10/2023)
Second bottle shows denser palate, classically Chambolle, woody and grilled meat with a touch of smoked dark fruit. Lifted and lightly herbal adding to the complexity. 95

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru

2016 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin-Clos de Bèze 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
(12/10/2023)
Seven hours of air translate into lifted blue fruit, clean, ripe, somewhat supple on the back. Decanted quickly, quite large on the palate but nothing particularly exciting for me. 94
