Deep golden in colour. Guessed as a ‘96 house that had oak use, maybe Giraud. Oxidative with nutty notes. Fresher and had more acidity than the ’98 last month but would still have preferred more cut annd energy.

Guessed a ‘12 grower but didn't land on Vilmart. Creamy texture but with good acidity despite the warmer vintage. Rich red strawberry fruit, some blood orange notes. As always with Vilmart, sweetness balanced with precision and tension. Drinking well now.

My extra. Label looked like it was from the ‘80s/90s. Still had some fizz when popped, dark golden in colour with a Kabinett-level of sweetness. Better with dessert than as an aperitif. Interesting to try but not my cup of tea.

My contribution. Popped and poured, quite reductive at first but put on weight and sweetness after time in the glass. Interestingly someone guessed this as a Rougeard. Sweetness mellowed with air but the richness and vanilla notes remained which was why most were in Meursault. Very good drive and still incredibly fresh - most guessed this was half its age. Another data point to show why DIAM works.

Guesses were all over the place for this but nobody managed to land on it correctly. I went for a 11/13 Puligny because of the leanness. Had crisp citrus fruit and saline notes that in hindsight are Lamy's signature. Very pleasurable and easy to drink as with all his wines.

Superb, lifted aromatics that only the best makers have. Was thinking a high-class, masculine Vosne or feminine Gevrey which in hindsight made sense given the maker. Had an iron fist in a velvet glove combination of power and elegance, with plenty of five spice and a little coffee notes. Thought 2010 because of the beautifully balanced and pure fruit. My first M-G that I understood the magic.

Went for '08/11 Gevrey weak GC or strong 1er because of the high, shrill acidity and iron notes. Nice nose and delicate red fruit, but as is the norm with Duband there is a nagging sense of an underpowered wine.

Thought this was a new-world wine. Even jammier and with more obvious red cherry fruit than the Pressing Matters served alongside. Another ‘19 to write off in my book.

Dark red cherry fruit with a hint of cola. Clearly new-world but showed good restraint. Thought it was from NZ because it came across as a cool climate Pinot.

Guessed an ‘86 as ‘95 last week but swapped the vintages around this time, they really have the same tannin structure. Thought it might have been a ‘86 Las Cases. Some greenness, tobacco; deep, dark blackcurrant fruit. Structured with thick viscosity, think the fruit will not outlast the tannins here. Thought the ‘96 tasted a couple of years ago was a much better wine.
