Great wine night at BlackSalt to celebrate my friend Mike Grammer coming in from Toronto. Great company! Every bottle spot on, in flights:
- 09 Cristal, 02 Bollinger, 06 Billecart Cuvée Nicolas
- Bolly edging out the other two for me but only barely. 09 Cristal is super open for Cristal but still young.
-
17 PYCM vs Bouzereau Meursault- totally different styles. Bouzereau far more rounded and integrated. Colin-Morey needs a decade but wonderfully incisive.
-
82 Canon, 89 Rauzan-Segla, 00 PLL - all wonderful, with Canon on point and the winner for me.
-
02 Bertheau Amoureuses vs 02 Chevillon Cailles
The table liked the Chevillon a good bit but Amoureuses had a nose of candy and red berries and sweet spice on an ethereal palate and was the winner for me. -
Kracher 98’s - the Chardonnay TBA was my favorite of these, over the welschriesling, with a bit of smokiness.
