2014 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echezeaux
8/10/2019 - Dave77 Likes this wine: 96 Points
This was put in a karaf 2,5 hours before starting and had a lot of benefit from the air just as the Rousseau before this.
This was just served at the right temperature and still started of a little shy but after a couple swirls in the glass it showed beautiful black fruit and asian spice on the nose.
The wine was very fragrant, already perfect integrated tannins very fine. The black fruit and the spice come back in the mouth, the cool earthiness and the same time silky black fruit keep lasting for almost 40 seconds.
Can only get better from here on.

2015 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques
8/10/2019 - Dave77 Likes this wine: 97 Points
This was put in a karaf 2 hours before starting and had a lot of benefit from the air. The nose very alluring with red and black fruit, violets, licorice, a little hint of vanilla.
Very broad palet with a nice tension and everything you taste is in perfect harmony, silky smooth. Very approachable for such a young wine. Long lasting aftertaste, with persistent fruit and spice.
If you have more then one bottle, no shame to try right now.

1971 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon Oenothèque

Brief note from blind tasting yesterday at a friends place.
Nobody at the table could have guessed this champagne was this old.
Released sinds 2006 this almost 50 years old champagne came across so vivid and in total harmony. Something you would love to drink every weekend but sadly is not possible.
Almonds, a little zest great and pure acidity and lovely minerality.
Nice and lingering finish.
