  Antoine Jobard/Hudelot-Noëllat Dinner at La Paulée de Los Angeles (Kato, Los Angeles): Deeper yellow with an orange tinge but very healthy. Wow, one hardly expects the freshness and vibrancy that this shows in the mouth. Long and layered yet not overdone and extremely elegant. Like all of these Charmes, hard to detect a trace of oak, and even at 30+ years of age, none of the nuttiness that Meursaults can have. Poised mellow roundness but it still has great energy and a lively lemony finish. It also grew beautifully in the glass over 90 minutes. The oldest wine I will taste at this year’s Paulée and really a fantastic bottle. It makes me appreciate the wines of the prior generation even, calling to mind how lean and tart they could be early on.

  Mellow, pure, crystalline.

  (49 euro in Beaune, paired with butter poached hommard bleu and chanterelles) Decanted 2 hours (and tasted along the way to make sure it was still developing). An hommage to a tremendous winemaker and an underrated vintage. Very clean and minerally for a Charmes, especially after 16 years, but that is the Jobard style. Unfortunately had more than a bit to drink later that evening and additional tasting details are hazy.

  Really like this guys wines and was fortunate to taste at the domaine/cellar which was bloody cold. Very good and again one of the best wines I've seen for this vintage. No lack of concentration or leaness just showing mature nutty character. Very pure, almost edgy, would have been unyielding young but has developed into a lovely honeyed mineral focused style which was most enjoyable. This guys wines rival any for pure vineyard expression. Excellent.
