2015 Domaine Michel Lafarge Bourgogne
10/20/2023 - MattTM wrote:
Really aromatic upon first pour, concentrated boysenberry fruit with a red cherry undertone. A bit darker than other vintages but well restrained in typical Lafarge fashion. This was quite open and soft for the first couple hours but clamped down towards the end of the night. Drinking well already but plenty of upside ahead.

2013 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Bourgogne

Beautifully transparent and bursting with energy aromatically. Clean and precise on the nose with a slight herbal undertone. Less generous on the palate displaying delicate darker fruit and tart berries. Slightly grainy in texture. This was really pleasant already and starting to enter the zone but a couple more years should do this well. Hopefully some time will help soften some of the rough edges. The village and lower level 2013’s seem to be just starting to hit their window. No shame in trying one now especially if you’ve got a few.

1990 Château Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse)

JR Group of Six Dinner (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind next to the 1990 Château Lynch-Bages, 1990 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron, and 1990 Château Angélus. The ripest wine of the flight yet still holding onto its old world roots. Dark fruits explode out of the glass coupled with black pepper spice, cedar, and a touch of oak. There was an underlying sweetness that showed on the palate yet it was well controlled, along with black currants, blueberries, clove, and a touch of menthol. This was texturally softer and showing more maturity than the Angélus, yet these will live for a long time yet.
