Comment
White - Off-dry
1988 Von Schubert Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling Auslese
Penetrating petrol aroma. On the palate, sharp lime fruit - majestic
White
1985 Domaine Jean Monnier & Fils Meursault Clos du Cromin
flawed
Pinkish. Earthy edge. Trace of butterscotch. Past it.
White
1989 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne
Grand burgundy like it used to be. Sharper than I'd expect a 1989, grippy in a good way.
Red
1996 Domaine Bruno Clavelier Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées Vieilles Vignes
Pale, some earthiness at the start, perfumed, cherry fruit, lean
Red
1999 Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées
Plush, tight, substantial and promising, just about approachable, but surely there is more to come from this
Red
1991 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas
flawed
Corked, though one could discern a great wine behind the taint
White - Sweet/Dessert
1990 Domaine des Aubuisières Vouvray Cuvée Alexandre Selection de Grains Nobles
Sweet, lovely mellow bruised apples on the palate, but nowhere near as zingy as the bottle we had six months ago.
