2012 Pepiere Muscadet Clisson
Flat out fantastic. Stony, minerally, after 2 hours open bursting with yellow fruit. Drink and hold
2010 Pepiere Muscadet Quatre
Okay, creamier than the Clisson. Pleasant enough, maybe a little boring to drink. Really suffered by its company.
2005 Domaine D'Ardhuy Les Peuillet Savigny Beaune
Young, vibrant. Really nice nose, not completely shut down on the plate - showing obvious quality but very young. Hearing all the reports of 2005s that are open for business I decided to test the waters with this. Not a waste but I won't touch another for a while.
1993 Jadot Beaune Couchereaux
Again, beautiful nose. The palate was very nice, a little tight and it shut down further with air. Again, hold.
Other people opened wine too.
1999 Musar (375) - very pretty. Showed much more open than the bottle I opened a few months ago.
NV Krug - people tried to convince me this was an off bottle but I knew better. All Krug consists of off bottles.
1989 Chateau Olivier Blanc - eh, dry white Bordeaux. A category that has never been my thing. A requests to all my friends - please stop opening them in an attempt to find one I like!
1998 Grand Puy Lacoste - seemed like good classic Bordeaux to me. Hit the spot.
2001 Edmunds St. John Wylie Fenaughty - skating along gracefully. This wine has been beautiful for at least the last 5 years and is still beautiful.
The was a Piuze Chablis (Jayson?) and a heat damaged Chianti (Jeff?).
