Flight 1 - Opener (1 Note)

  • 2002 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 100 Points

    France, Champagne

    PnP. Still vibrant, but with a lovely tertiary development. Nose bursts from the glass immediately, but gained even more steam with air. Precise, layered palate. Continued to improve throughout the evening and the last sip was simply perfection. An absolutely perfect bottle and best showing yet.

    PnP. Light tea color. Nose explodes from the glass with layers of spice and floral notes. Palate is soft and mature, but with nice acidity and a long finish. Really special wine that held up over several hours.

  • 2013 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands-Echezeaux

    PnP. Noticeable stem on the nose with red fruit and spice box. Palate has darker fruits and a bit softer. Needs more time to integrate.

    PnP. Ready to go on first pour with crunchy red fruit on the nose. Bright and lifted palate, quite open knitted and a wonderful texture. Great now and will continue to improve.

  • 1990 Domaine Leroy Chambertin 99 Points

    Small pour. Classic Leroy perfumed nose. Sultry and sexy palate. Deep fruit but perfectly balanced. Finish drives on and on. Really stole the show and showed up the wonderful Rousseaus.
