Chez Kimelman

Tasted August 9, 2016 by VDLT Wine with 198 views

Flight 1 - Hors d'oeuvres (1 note)

Lobster salad and sturgeon from Sable, fried oysters, prosciutto wrapped Parmesan sticks, in-house boiled Katz's pastrami

White
2001 Morey-Blanc Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Blanc France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
After 20 minutes of aromas that that ranged from dead to a compost heap, a swan emerged. A lovely, mature Burgundy with charm and depth. It continued to evolve and improve for several hours. Fine performance.

Flight 2 - Dinner (3 notes)

Macaroni and cheese, veal chops with tomato and mushroom ragout, cheese plate

Red
2009 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Au Closeau France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Either an off bottle or this is in a dumb phase. Lean, shrill and hollow.
Red
2010 Domaine Marchand-Grillot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
For about an hour, I was amazed at how open this 2010 was. Not just open, it was great. Rich, deep, balanced sweet fruit mixed with some savory spices. Then the window began to close and didn't stop until it was firmly closed.
Red
2001 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas
A very good wine. It feel short of expectations but it might also have been my jet-lagged fatigue.
