2017 Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Bâtard-Montrachet
3/2/2024 - mjdixon Likes this wine: 93 Points
Well balanced blend of oak, citrus and fruit
Not the concentration or power I would expect from a GC Batard but no less enjoyable.
Smooth and silky on the palate with a nose that promises mire Batard than Puligny.
Drinking well now but should last

2002 Dom Pérignon Champagne P2
1/25/2024 - mjdixon Likes this wine: 90 Points
Drank vs Krug 2002...by comparison Dom is thin without much vintage chardonnay taste. Citrus but not much else. Detected a slight petrol taste, is this a flaw?
Highly effervescent and energetic which surely takes away from the more refined flavours??
TBH, would rather have the standard Dom than this and not even close to the Krug for elegance, stye, mouthfeel, etc

2005 Château Pape Clément
1/9/2024 - mjdixon Likes this wine: 92 Points
Thin and closed on opening and took 2 hours to come alive
At its peak with tannins and fresh fruit nearby gone
But lively secondary flavours
Will try more recent vintages
