Had some of the regular suspects over last night for Burgs and Pork from Caw Caw Creek http://www.cawcawcreek.com/.
Wasn’t such a great night for the Burgs.
2006 Blain Gagnard Chassage Montrachet Morgeot-Nice enough.Oily. Full mouth feel. Spring fruits. Slight heat on the finish. Decent value.
2001 Jean Noel Chassagne Montrachet Caillerets-Tough, angular, not quite right. Hard on the finish. Weird.
1997 Drouhin Laroze Clos Des Beze-Beautiful pinot nose. Downhill from there. Slightly austere, but nice weight that gives way to somewhat green and hard finish. Not great and not going anywhere good.
2002 Domaine Cortochot Maxy-Chambertin–Red fruit, but a lot of structure. Came on as the night wore on, but still not sure about this one. I wouldn’t care to have more.
2005 Faiveley Nuits Saint George Les Porets-Holy crapping hell young. We knew it, but it was for the sake of research. 3 hour decant and wrapped tight to the end of hell. Meadows says 2015+…he aint kidding. Core of cherry fruit that will be nice one day…when my 10 year old kid graduates from college…
