NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée Edition 164eme - France, Champagne (1/21/2019)
Sipped on this for two days from the hotel room deck…Spectacular as always! Bright and tart freshness, with a super balance of creamy yeast and ginger…chiseled minerality, smoked sea salt, wet slate…nuanced ox. Couldn’t ask for a better wine to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, and warm sunshine! (96 pts.)
-
2005 Pierre Péters Champagne Grand Cru Cuvée Speciale Blanc de Blancs Les Chetillons - France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru (1/21/2019)
Bright citrus, aged lees nuttiness, creamy Marsala creme mousse, smoked mineral salinity…fantastic!!! (95 pts.)
-
2007 Domaine Dujac Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru (1/21/2019)
Subtlety and delicacy of the vintage…an amazing array of Vosne spice…cherry cordial…pretty perfume florals…a true pleasure! (94 pts.)
-
2013 Bouchard Père et Fils Corton-Le Corton - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru (1/21/2019)
Wonderful floral perfume nose…cherry liqueur, red licorice, dusty dried spices…little reduction, showing tight youthful structure, crunchy minerals…yet still a silky pure feel. Plenty of pleasure can be coaxed…but will definitely reward future age. +pts (93 pts.)
