The 99 was fresher, acid more lively and more effervescent. The 00 was more toasty and savory

Day 4 in Napa in the books! Running a day behind on notes...Napa time runs slow AND fast!

Incredible stuff and a treat to try next to the ‘09. This has turned more honeyed and savory...hazelnut, baked bread, honeycomb, roasted macadamias with great depth and acidity.

'99 Late Disgorged! Hell to the double yes. Like a bruleed peachy Creme fraîche in a puff pastry, drizzled with wild honey. Deep gold.

2000 vintage LD - Chardonnay based with 17 years aging on the lees. Rich, Toasty, hazelnut, lemon, still plenty of acidity but well rounded and rich. Really special wine. Wedding weekend 09/02/22

Drinks like the big boys....because it is!!! Reviewed this wine about 5 months ago and although it was doing nicely, something in it seemed to wake up between then and now. I would give this a solid 95 today based on the second bottle opened tonight. Tiny bubbles. About 80% oxidative style, starting with brioche and bread pudding character with a little bit of green apple tart on the finish. Lovely. The last one did not seem to be nearly as complex. I think my third and final bottle this is doomed.....

Old wine that tastes young and fresh. Not many bubbles though. Still, a fascinating bit of historic pleasure.

This is surreal. Seventeen years old, but tasting like a young pup. Can't believe the freshness, elegance and full flavored depth. Yummy.
