White
2012 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes
93 points
Apple and baked apple with a hint of peach. Both sweet and savory spice. Impressive density with the richness/ ripeness of the 2012 density yet also plenty of bright energy that keeps this engaging. Very good length. So good now, probably still with upside.

2014 Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Blanc
92 points
Yellow and green apple with plenty of lemon and lemon peel.Very precise, chiseled and linear in a classic manner that makes this so engaging for those of us wanting this bright style. Better now vs when last tasted two years back.

Red
2013 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots
91 points
Red cherry and berry throughout with charmingly Vosne-styled Asian five spice. Good weight, clearly better length and balance. Much better now vs when tasted shortly after release.

2011 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots
92 points
So much red cherry and berry with very impressive near-Grand Cru density and an enticing level of complexity. Slightly better tonight vs another bottle from the same restaurant exactly one year ago. Still a little firm and backward with a bitter hint on the finish that needs to resolve.
White
2014 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet
Small taste, brief note. Sent over blind by friends at another table, this was lush and complex with a fully enticing spicebox. Extremely dense and seemingly slightly backward, but this had not been open long. My brief encounter with the wine made me think Grand Cru from 2014 or 2015 but I didn't have much time. 93-94 points.
Red
2016 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Charmes-Chambertin
92 points
Small taste, brief note. Sent over blind by friends at another table, this showed incredibly balanced character with both red and black cherry. Good weight throughout with a clear sense of power coming through on finish. Clearly not at its peak, but also not seemingly a wine that will require decades. I thought this a top 2014 Gevrey 1er Cru, so not very close but not quite embarrassingly far off.
