Magnificent. Like a Coche with bubbles. Reduced and grippy, but amazing depth.

N.V. G. H. Mumm & Cie Champagne Cordon Rouge Brut
35-40 years old apparently. Earthy, bruised apples, prickly, some toast. Like an old superior cider. An agreeable curiosity

2010 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets
Milky and dusty - lots of grip - I wasn't charmed by this.

1945 Thomas Bassot Ruchottes-Chambertin
Alive and very drinkable. It's earthy, fresh sharp and quite austere, for all the sense of raspberries and sweetness in the middle. Bracing and interesting rather than delicious.

Tobacco nose, despite the grip at the end the impression is of softness and plushness - very attractive.

Very oaky, but this not a problem when there's this much fruit. Delicious

2001 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes Vieille Vigne
So much sap, fresh, lean, cherry fruit, long too - my favourite of this trio of burgundies

My faculties failing at this stage of the evening, but my memory is that I was quite taken with this dark mysterious wine.
