Henri Jayer & Disciples (15 USW): This isn’t quite correct. Have had two bottles of the ‘91 Meo Cros P from the same source and this isn’t really comparable in terms of detail, complexity, and power. A couple early calls for cork taint, hard to say for sure but something less than perfect. There is still a wide array of earth and spice notes to be picked out of the nose. A bit of a disappointing bottle, I wanted this to be sensational. This is the second last wine of a marathon dinner, so it could be suffering from context to some degree as well.

Drank at La Tour D'Argent Paris - Like almost all of this restaurant's wine list, I imagine this bottle will have come directly from the Domaine shortly after release and there it has been stored for the last 25 years in a perfect damp cool French cellar; provenance doesn't get better than this. The wine duly delivered accordingly. Up against some big guns from Roumier and Rousseau it swept them away with its perfect combination of balance and structure. Probably one of the best burgundies I have tasted. The only sad thing is its rarer than hens teeth.

A secondary nose of forest floor, rust, mushrooms. Good silky palate. I suppose I had a lot more higher expectations for this - good but not at the height one would expect of a Meo Richie...

Gary's MNSC (Megan's Kitchen): a little funky and disoriented to start. better after a while but still hard to place. subtle flavours with decent intensity.

Bit dumb and inexpressive for me, had better bottles.

Jayer disciples. The quality transcends the vintage. Just a beautiful wine that's incredibly polished with a sweet, effortless palate. Wow.

Something was off about this bottle. Wasnt corked but may have been poorly stored at some point. Just not exactly right.

Took a while to get open and balanced, in the glass. Lovely but not fully merting expectations

At Intro with Chef Erik Anderson- Round and silky. Red fruit and violet. Minerality but little sous bois. Very good length again. Ready to go for me.
