Paulee taste, brief note. Nicely floral start with ripe Apple that comes across as slightly sweet, but in a pleasurable way.

Small glass, brief note. Nicely mature cross-section of Apple aromas and flavors, also nicely supported with bright acidity and mineral textures. Very good. Served to everybody at the Paulee gala from multiple jeros.

Small glass, brief note. Fleshy and fun for near-term with moderate weight and length. Elevate by the Hospices.

Small glass, brief note. From before I learned about the great Moreau wines, so this is the first time I've had the wine. Lots of Apple everywhere in a lean, precise manner with a super, energetic finish. Very good.

Small glass, brief note. Ripe Apple that is borderline opulent, but this has the bones to carry it thoughts a long finish. Also very concentrated.

Small glass, brief note. Ripe Apple, spice and floral start. Bigger and more exciting on nose vs palate, but nicely bright. Moderate weight.

From jero. Small glass, brief note. Big, fat and lush. Almost blowzy, but then structure rears its magical head from the middle to finish. Very interesting potential here. Elevage by Ponsot from what Alvin was told to be Laguiche fruit.

Small glass, brief note. Much like the 2008 just tasted, this has orchard fruit, spice and floral character in good harmony. This wine comes across as slightly more dense, so correspondingly longer and more pleasurable. Still nicely fresh, particularly vs many other 2005 white Grand Cru bottles I have tasted recently.

Small glass, brief note. I've never had a great experience with this wine...until now. Wow. Maturing slowly with stone fruit, orchard fruit, lots of spice throughout. While very ripe, this is showing such great density, freshness and enough structure for everything to work together. Great length.

Small glass, brief note. Very dense and still fresh. Excellent for drinking now, just not quite as exciting as the 1989 just tasted.

Small glass, brief note. Lemon and lemon peel with bursts of energy and crunchy minerality that defines Perrieres. Very good.

Small glass, brief note. Starts off very ripe, fat, and certainly fun. Suddenly acidity and textures comes through on finish, giving a greater elegance and brightness I really enjoyed. From magnum. Good for now.

Small glass, brief note. Apple and lemon come across as vey precise and elegant, with very good length. Like this a lot right now, but this has the reserve and concentration to improve.

Not flawed, but just not particularly interesting. So sad.

Small glass, brief note. Apple and baked apple, moderate structure, but still hangin' in there. Most likely better 5 years ago.

From magnum. Small glass, brief note. Very ripe but with the structure to retain balance and maintain an elegant charm. Ramonet mint. Very long finish.

Small glass, brief note. Nicely floral with lemon, lemon zest, ripe apple. Good concentration, minerally finish.

Small glass, brief note. Sensational bottle. Incredibly fresh, bright and powerful. I think this is the first time I've had the wine, and it's much better than even the best bottles of the 1992 Batard I've had.

Small glass, brief note. Orchard fruit tonight with sensational concentration and length. Very powerful and expressive start-to-finish.

Small taste, brief note. Starts slightly ripe and nutty, but then takes off with a burst of energy and precision toward a long finish. Still nicely fresh. At a great place right now.

Small glass, brief note. Great aromatic start - fresh. vibrant, elegant fruit with trace spice. Flavors slightly more ripe, less fresh, but still very tasty, very elegant. A rare treat to taste Montrachet from a producer no longer producing wine.

Small glass, brief note. Slightly mature but mostly fresh. This is a real powerhouse with complex flavors unfolding over long finish.

Small glass,brief note. Intense fruit with an intense fruit concentration that is almost sweet, followed by a burst of energy that serves as a refreshing contrast. Very nice.

Small glass, brief note. Mature red cherry and berry with soft, sweet spice. Really great and fun right now.

Small glass, brief note. Lemon and apple and toasted hazelnuts with excellent minerality and moderate depth. Very good now.

Small glass, brief note. Rich and buttery with stone fruit and faint tropical hints, but the structure to retain freshness and balance. Very good density, moderate length.

Small glass, brief note. Ripe and powerful but with the textural complexity to make this long, lush, and superbly nuanced. A super rare treat, one in which the vintage worked amazingly with the Leroy style.

Small glass, brief note. All red, surprisingly ripe, great spice. Of course fresh and too young, but charming now.

Small glass, brief note. Charming nose showing mature fruit and sweet spice. Similar flavors but slightly less exciting palate that I found a bit firm with a drying finish.

Small glass, brief note. Stinky aromas, very tired. Far more interesting flavors, but still tired. Fun to taste.

Small glass, brief note. Rest cross-section of citrus and orchard fruit with near-perfect textures, great length, moderate weight.

Small glass, brief note. Second bottle from a different person 20 minutes after the prior bottle. This one came across as far old, quite possibly ha ing experienced heat damage in its life. But definitely an authentic DRC 1988 Richebourg.

Damn! Two bottles of heat damaged DRC Ricebourg 5 minutes apart.

Small glass, brief note. Surprisingly tired.

Small glass, brief note. Intense power with dense concentration, still slightly reserved and backward. Fruit not eye taking, but here is a spice and mint character that I really like. Needs more time in the cellar, but great raw materials. Very good potential.

Small glass, brief note. Very pretty red fruit, incredibly pure and charming. Expanding finish. Very good now.

Small glass, brief note. While I love pure red cherry and berry, it's the textures that enthrall me. This is so soft and comfy, but with the raw structure and concentration that keeps it going and going through to a long finish. Classic Musigny.

Small glass, brief note. Fully mature but still charming and enjoyable. Modest length.

Corked.

Small glass, brief note. Started reductive, which the Paulee format punishes given the inability to taste and revisit a wine over an extended period. Decant.

Small glass, late night, brief note. Bright red fruit with very good balance and a lighter softness that makes it charming right now.

I brought this to La Paulee because Francois Labet (from Chateau de la Tour in Vougeot) was attending and this wine was made by his grandfather. Ullage was 5-5.5 cm but color quite dark. Roll the dice? Success! Sweet and intense black fruit with great concentration and super charming reduced mushroom notes. Maybe I am overrating the wine because of its age, but I had so much fun with it in general, particularly serving it to M. Labet.

Small glass, late night, brief note. Sweet and fresh black fruit with moderate structure and overall wonderful balance. Very fun and tasty right now.

Small glass, late night, brief note. Mature red cherry, hints of spice and leather. Aging nicely, very elegant, probably best to drink up.

Corked.

Served at La Paulee. Dense red and black fruit with great spice finish. Still slightly backward. This had been open a couple of hours before serving.

Small glass, late night, brief note. Extremely concentrated red fruit with lots of baking spice. Very enjoyable (93ish points for now) but nowhere near its peak potential (95?).

Small glass, late night, brief note. This didn't work well tonight for La Paulee. IT probably didn't get enough air before serving, and I found it musty, too dense and very backward. In a "normal" setting that would be solved with more time in glass, but the La Paulee format really does not give you that option.

Small glass, late night, brief note. Nicely evolved, moderate weight. Good Vosne spice. I liked this a lot, other experienced tasters liked it even more.

Small glass, late night, brief note. Seemed soft and superbly elegant to start, then my sip or two finished with great power. I wish I could have tasted this beauty a few hours earlier.

Small taste, late night, brief note. Very ripe red fruit, lots and lots of great spice. Great power and length. A late night highlight.

Small glass, late night, brief note. Didn't seem like the most pristine bottle, slightly dirty/ fading on nose and palate.

Small glass, late night, brief note. Musty and very mature nose. Very mature red fruit flavors. Nice, but a bit simple.

Late Paulee tasting, brief note. Red fruit, powerful. Still firmly structured. Expanding finish. Lots of upside. I also tasted the 1999 vintage, but it was the final pour/sip so not representative.

Late night, brief note. Subtly floral with lots and lots of lemon and a powerful, slightly austere finish. Lots of powerful fruit, with impressive concentration and length. Very refreshing after a long day drinking Burgundy!
