Burgundy dinner @ Serenade in Chatham: First wine of a big night...We didnt decant, wine was a little closed but then opened after about 20 minutes and continued to improve for an hour
Deep gold color, still looks fresh. Sophisticated nose, white flowers, honey, tropical fruits. Palate was citrus/lemon, honey,butterscotch. As it opened, even more secondary nuances of lemon/lime zest.
Gorgeous wine at 22 years...still has a way to go. My #1 white of the night.

Still kicking--and more! Like my last bottle a couple years ago, this starts out tired. It is aromatically restrained and the palate is a bit flat. But after some air--really, like 2 hours of airs--this opens up and becomes a delightful cocktail of lemon cream, oranges, nuts, and some exotic fruit elements. 20 years has given this loads of complexity, and it's still a pretty intense, assertive Puligny. The only gripe is that it comes off as a bit blousy from the lack of acidity, and there's no real minerality. Nevertheless, this is a very well made wine that drinks beautifully for its age. I wouldn't be surprised if it continued to improve and drinks well in another decade still.

Unfortunately this bottle vintage 1992 is over the peak in 2024

Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Beze event; 9/11/2015-9/12/2015 (Capella Hotel Georgetown): Very youthful color. The nose of beautifully mature white Burgundy, a bit of lanoline, grapefruit, lemon oil, almond paste and honey. Very good concentration, cool citrus fruit driven palate impression and medium finish. Very enjoyable.

Great showing. Worked with apps that were less seasoned and not shellfish. Better on its own maybe. Very nice wine.
