1997
Etude - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Last of 8 bottles purchased on release. Fruit has dissipated leaving a very dry and grainy palate. Food helps but on its own very disjointed. Based on my previous notes this wine was drinking much better 4 years ago.
2000
Rousseau, Armand Pere & Fils - Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques 1er Cru
Terrific nose of sappy Pinot fruit and wet Gevrey earth. Silky smooth palate with great balance. As with many 2000 Burgundies this is drinking terrific right now and will continue for the next several years.
2002
Boillot, Henri - Meursault Charmes 1er Cru
On the nose a mix of lemon custard, honeysuckle and minerals. Rich but focused palate. Highly recommend.
2001
Lambrays - Clos des Lambrays
Crushed berries, earthy, minerals. Great finish and pretty tannins. No where near peak however I have experienced bottle variation.
2003
Cathiard, Sylvain - Vosne-Romanee Aux Reignots 1er Cru
Exudes typical Vosne spice, frankincense, deep black fruit. Sweet softness on palate with pretty tannins. Well crafted as are most Sylvain Cathiard wines. Drinkable now but will age beautifully
