2007 Rhys Pinot Noir Alpine Vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains

This is in a terrific spot with buoyant, round, fresh blackberry and black cherry fruit that is laced with spice, toasted herbs and florals. So much flavor and textural complexity. Long, bright finish.

I've been thinking about starting to open Rhys Alpines at 20 years (you know, for science), which is generally when I start to like the maturity level of Burgundy (1er and up). Does this wine have another 6 or so years in it?

1998 Coche-Dury Meursault Les Rougeots Chardonnay

Wines Tasted at HDH Auction (Tru - Chicago IL): Intense, concentration lemon peel aromas. Lemon curd flavors with a slightly sweet, caramelly hint. Moderate finesse, drinking well now.

What's your best guess on a drinking window for this wine?
Thanks!

2007 Domaine de Montille Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts Christiane Pinot Noir

This is still a wow bottle. I tried a taste of this in the afternoon before leaving it to get some air and even on the first taste it was a palate-pamperer, sinking into the palate with a gentle touch but a surprisingly persistent grip. At dinner a few hours later, it starts out a bit more spinal and also shows some green stems on the nose. Compared to the Dujac it is much more slender and vertical. Then there was a point midway through when the texture turned astonishingly silky and lacy and it's basically the wine version of a French underwear model.

1982 Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

A great dinner at Capella in DC (Washington DC): I loved how this came out of the gates, just firing on all cylinders. Dust, graphite, cassis, and iron. With time there was a troubling, almost moldy, green note that peeked out, and there was considerable conversation about whether this was corked or just a bit off. Interestingly, at the end of the night I took another small pour from the decanter, and it showed totally clean. Probably not the best bottle of 1982 Mouton, but I still thought it was enormously enjoyable.

2004 Domaine Truchot-Martin Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbes Vieilles Vignes Pinot Noir

Not very expressive aromatically at first, but right from the first sip it's showing that sense of purity and ethereal lightness on the palate I always expect from Truchot. With time though this really starts to unravel and develop aromatically, and about an hour and a half after being opened there's a haunting fragrance combining pure red fruit, earth, a faint herbal/citrus-like higher toned element and that savoury leatheriness. Just a thrilling wine.
