Flight 1 (1 note)

White - Sparkling
1990 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon Reserve de l'Abbaye France, Champagne
limited edition made for Japan only. seemed younger and sweeter than the normal 1990s I've tasted.

Flight 2 (1 note)

White
1992 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
95 points
classy juice. really singing after half an hour in glass.

Flight 3 (2 notes)

Red
1982 Pétrus France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
stylish and poised. perfect balance. scored a rare victory over Lafleur 82 side by side.

94 points
usually much closer to perfection. somehow the sweetness was a bit overwhelming tonight without the usual exotic explosion on the nose. a rare defeat against Petrus 82 side by side.

Flight 4 (2 notes)

Red
1990 Château Latour Grand Vin France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
95 points
youthful, powerful structure. overshadowed by Margaux 90's charm and finesse.
Red
1990 Château Margaux France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
100 points
it's like fantasy winemaking. all the best attributes of bordeaux rolled into one bottle. simply stunning.
