Introduction

Myself, Mark, Dave and Barney. Sadly two brave compatriots were MIA.

Scott Carsberg was on fire, really original, flavors, serving styles and textures unlike many dishes I have had for him over the past 33 years.

  • 1999 Domaine Ramonet Montrachet

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru

    Wow, flinty and intense on first open. With time there was the Ramonet spearmint explosion. I didn't take a lot of notes of ponder this one so deeply, bit it is always a surreal treat.

  • 1994 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Ruchottes-Chambertin

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru

    "Rustic" is what Mark leads off with. Great acid is my first thought. A nose of soaring cherries increasingly shows a gorgeous, complex dose of stemmy, whole cluster personality. With air this gets darker, more blackberry. This is really old school wine, a throwback, proper Burgundy.

Braised "Short Rib"

  • 1986 Château Mouton Rothschild

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    A six hour decant. Textbook Pauillac, textbook Mouton. Deep graphite, lead pencil, some tobacco. Powerful tannins, density off the charts, just lovely. As good a Mouton gets.
