2015 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Corton-Charlemagne
Magnum. Overwhelmingly oaky at this point. Quite rich. Not convinced the structure is there.
Red
2012 Domaine de Montille Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey
Magnum. Light ruby. Rather thin, green, and meager. Not very good.
Red
2012 Hubert Lignier Nuits St. Georges Les Poisets
Magnum. Medium weight, somewhat meaty. Good black fruit and earth. Good. Needs time.
Red
2012 Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux
Magnum. Deep ruby. Black fruit and licorice. Medium bodied. Chewy black fruit and earth. Very early days, significant structure to resolve. This should turn out to be outstanding, but it will take another 10 years from this format.

Red
2005 Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Bourgueil Cuvée Vieilles Vignes
Magnum. Light ruby. Light to medium weight. Very green and quite tannic. Not very charming. Not sure if more time will help this.
Red
2009 Giuseppe Quintarelli Cà del Merlo Veneto IGT
Magnum. Light ruby. Herbal nose with a ripe fruit top note. Complex, medium weight wine with good mix of herb, currant fruit, and soil. Close to being fully resolved.
