Flight 1 (1 note)

White - Sparkling
1999 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut France, Champagne
stylish but a bit restrained and reticent, which seems to be Salon's trait among recent vintages.

Flight 2 (1 note)

White
1996 Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
95 points
hauntingly beautiful. deep and complex. lovely. no premox.

Flight 3 (1 note)

Red
1986 Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des Célestins France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
91 points
mature, sweet and rustic. a little metallic on the palate which I didn't enjoy.

Flight 4 (1 note)

Red
2001 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru
94 points
complex and intense. earthy and plumy notes. quite delicious.

Flight 5 (1 note)

Red
2000 Château Lafleur France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
96 points
packed with layers of good stuff waiting to burst out, but being held back, like watching a tarantino movie on mute. way too young now. despite 2hrs in decanter, still an infant. no doubt will be close to perfect given another decade.
