September 9, 2019 - Flight of 88, 91, 93, and 2010.
1988: Very good, but shy of the greatness sometimes experienced with this vintage.
1991: Very very good, and a vintage that always exceeds expectations. Initially it seemed to be everyone's WOTF.
1993: Lovely and fruit intensive. a fantastic wine in a fantastic place. For me both the 91 and 93 were simply gorgeous.
2010: Very good. Some called this a "future" wine. I really liked it in the present as well.
March 7, 2019 - Zachys La Paulée "Warm-up" Dinner (Lafayette - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Shockingly fresh for its age and the vintage. Good fruit start-to-finish. Gets points for longevity, as well as its maintaining good balance.
June 4, 2015 - Intro Chef Erik Anderson- Wonderfully complete. Lanolin, honeysuckle and lime. Excellent length and breadth. Decent acid but I've had higher from 88's. Started to fade after 45 minutes. Good stuff. Recent release from the Domaine.
August 10, 2014 - Favre 3.0 Friday Night.: A terrrific side by side of 88 Carillon BBM and 88 Ramonet BBM. Carillon, a recent domaine release, was fresh, young; brilliant. The Ramonet came out strong and kept delivering. An awesome pairing and both showed fantastic.
June 28, 2014 - Four Carillon BBM's, oldest to youngest. All were drunk literally over three hours, so we really got the impact of air over time. The 88 was a recent Domaine release, so fresh, and very good. The 96 was simply off the charts, and continues to be my favorite of all time. The 99 was the weakest for me, and while decent, just didn't impress. The 02 was good, but didn't hit the level we expected or have experienced previously.
November 5, 2011 - A weekend with friends in Germany Mosel area: Part 3: S..t! Heavily corked.
November 5, 2011 - Dreamtasting #3 (Bernhard Eifel Restaurant, Trittenheim): Alas, this one was corked...
