  Burgundy Wine Club 10th Anniversary Dinner: Absolutely and completely gorgeous. Stunning, truly. Amidst a quartet of Jean Gros Richebourgs, the table was split on whether this or the 91 was the finest. I loved them equally, and for different reasons. The nose here is simply enthralling, it's what the the most frilly descriptions say when they describe of the nose of a great Richebourg. Incredible complexity of aroma, and great articulation too - spices, incense, musky animale notes, savory tertiary tones, all swirling around and interacting and changing. The wine is so alive and vibrant, it's just a gorgeous thing to experience, and it all carries onto the palate too, which is so impeccably balanced that it can seem to just fly by, and then you notice the pungency and complexity of the finish. A real wow wine, and it completely defies the common logic about the paucity of the 1982 vintage.

  A first rate old Burgundy. Still with fruit but lovely tertiary flavors of sandalwood, asian spices and light delicate nuances of leaves and forest floor. Earthy mineral flavors with some dried cherry. Very long on the palate. A really nice wine.

  Hans Kruger Classic (Suite 100): Well, not quite the '72 Musigny, but a different animal. The nose is quite a bit earthier, bordering barnyard. Still has a light, delicate cranberry and raspberry fruit component. The fruit is wrapped in brewed tea, spices, and minerality. Dried cherries on palate with spices, rich mouthfeel, and dusty tannins. A bit rustic and still showing some power. Not quite as delicate as imagined on the palate, yet still delivers amazing complexity. This was probably a beast in its youth. The minerality starts to really come through. Fantastic.
