  • 1993 Louis Jadot Le Montrachet

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru

    Medium gold. Closed at first (perhaps served a touch cold), showing ripe stone fruit as it warms but also some nutty, oxidative aromas. Stone fruit and creamy oak on the palate, full bodied, plump, but again oxidative notes - quite advanced. Lacking depth on the mid-palate, long finish though with some orangey acidity. **

Served with Tarte Fine of Cooked and Raw Cepes with Grape Mustard and Pork Fillet

  • 1993 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru

    Medium garnet. Intense nose, dark cherry, plum, spice. Attractive slightly bitter iron edge. Serious, with earthy notes. Some sweet fruit showing on the palate, which is butressed by some still quite firm, though not unripe tannin. Good depth and length. Perhaps more Pommard than Volnay but very good nonetheless and should improve. ***(*)

  • 1993 Domaine Michel Lafarge Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru

    Med/deep garnet/ruby. Couldn't get past cork taint at first. Reveisted later and much improved with lovely ripe strawberry fruit, spice and floral notes. Silky and attractive on the palate too if still a little firm on the finish. ***1/2

  • 1993 La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Bousse d'Or

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru

    Pale/medium garnet, wide rim. Developed nose showing sweet strawberry fruit, floral notes. Understaed, mellow, mature - on the light side with soft, fully integrated tannins and fresh acidity on the gently lingering finish. Understated and very good indeed. ***

  • 1993 Giaconda Pinot Noir

    Australia, Victoria, North East, Beechworth

    Pale/medium mahogany core, pale wide rim. Slightly cloudy. Sweet, mature, gentle strawberry fruit, vanilla. Mature, fully evolved on the palate with slightly gamey strawberry fruit and spice. Falls away a little on the finish but very pleasant. **

    Medium/deep ruby, pale garnet rim. Dark, sweet fruit, vanilla. Youthful, rich, luxurious and deep. Slight musty edge on the nose. Layers of sweet dark fruit on the palate, lovely purity, deep and dense on the mid-palate with a long, firm finish. Classy. *****

  • 1993 Domaine Jean Gros Richebourg

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    Developed appearance with pale/medium garnet core, wide pale garnet/mahogany rim. Sweet, smoky nose, with meaty notes. some exotic spice. Someone said smoky bacon which also hits the mark. Sweet, mature and harmonious on the palate - certainly very sweet but not confected or specious. Long and savoury finish. Lovely. *****
