1998
Confuron, Jean-Jacques - Clos de Vougeot
Aging beautifully, perfectly ready with an hours aeration.
1998
Jaboulet Aine, Paul - Cornas Domaine de St Pierre
Barnyardy nose with a deep, rich, smoky flavor. A beautiful wine and a terrific value
1982
Penfolds - Grange Hermitage
Gorgeous with a creamy taste, like a sherry on steroids. This is on a level that is unique and all its own. Perfect.
1998
Roumier, Georges - Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru
elegant, delicious, fruit forward, smooth as silk, beautifully balanced
1995
Bouchard Pere & Fils - Bonnes Mares
This is a big, bright, beautiful expression of Bonnes Mares. As the meal went on, the wine unfolded and continue to reveal itself as even bolder and fresher,
1995
Fontodi - Flaccianello Della Pieve
Very nice sangiovese, but not extraordinary in any way. It may have been slightly past it speak
1990
Gros Frere et Soeur - Clos de Vougeot Musigni
Rich, smoky nose with a supple, well balance flavor of slightly tart cherries mixed with currant and medium length finish. This is an extremely elegant wine and I would definitely buy more. This wine is at its peak, but shows no sign of age at all. Delicious!
2002
Chateau de la Maltroye - Chassagne-Montrachet Clos du Chateau de la Maltroye 1er Cru
the nose is smoke infused pineapple and wine is rich, chewy and mineral infused. This is a very nice, but unremarkable wine.
1990
Caparzo - Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa
Gorgeous nose, hints of tobacco with dark fruits. it is well balanced but with big tannins that give the wine an austere, yet elegant feel. The nose is full, the attack is smooth and balanced and followed by a relatively short/medium, but fruity and beautiful finish. This wine has not peaked and has plenty of time left.
