Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair
La Romanée Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2007
2007 - bit shy at first but as it sat layers and layers of flavors started to appear. Violets, Asian spice. Cherry. Classy juice with a long life ahead
Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1982
It certainly didn't suck- though I feel a bit groggy today
I bet. 😀 Drink lots of water and take two Advil.
Intense black color with graphite and lead pencil on the nose. Massive wine still in need of a lot of time
Claude Dugat
Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1996
1996 - always have been a fan of Dugat. Black in color with plenty of extraction and flavor - in no way over the top. So much fruit that it would have been hard to say this was 96 as the acidity was very well integrated. Mouth coating and full with excellent persistence and length. Very good!
Domaine de Montille
Les Malconsorts Christiane Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2007
2007 - somewhat of a unicorn. Fun to taste but on this night did not seem to live up to its potential. Reserved dark fruited flavors seemed almost muted - still sleeping?
Domaine Drouhin-Laroze
Latricières-Chambertin Pinot Noir 1971
1971 - classic old burgundy nose sous bois mushroom and forest floor with hints of red fruits peeking through. Great intensity on a rather delicate palate. At almost 50years old still drinking beautifully
So that’s where the sixth bottle went!
