1990 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde Syrah

Surprising liveliness, does not taste old at all. Note, this was a Brune et Blonde-- somewhat mislabeled by me as Château d'Ampuis. Masterpiece of shiraz by Guigal in a top year for the Côte Rôtie. Beautiful, rich balance of matured fruit and silky soft tannins. Blackberries and cinnamon strong on the nose. Pleasant and alcoholic sweet hint on the palate, very very long finish. Quite a bit of deposit, in fact wine itself did not clear completely, but no discernible effect on taste or texture.

1996 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay

A private dinner (Restaurant Châlet Royal *, Den Bosch, Netherlands): Fabulous but still an infant, far too young. Pineapple, toffee and smoky wood but the steely structure really still dominates everything, needs many years. Drink 2006 - 2016.
