SOBER gathered at Cathleens for a lovely tasting (not blind for a change). We started with charcuterie and some Champagne
1996 Lanson Brut Crisp, spicy, elegant mousse, long. What a nice surprise. A- Bereche (2012 disgorgement) Brut Reserve Asian pear, citrus zest, brioche. Long and fine. A-/B+ 2010 Antoine Jobard €śTillets€ť Meursault 1er The acids are more Chablis-like than Meursault-ish, but thats not a bad thing. Stony, white fruit and herb notes, big and long. A- 2010 Antoine Jobard €śEn Barre€ť Meursault Funny/funky nose, hint of brett? Nice fruit, some hazelnut B There was a lovely mushroom stew with a delicious crust A nice lineup from Domaine des Lambrays 2009 Domaine des Lambrays €śLes Loups€ť Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Somewhat weird nose (some called pickle juice, not to me, but a little medicinal), a little heat (though early picked), not my fave. B- 2009 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Ripe but not overripe, could use more zip but tasty. B 2010 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Young but well-balanced, fresh , bright, spicy red fruits, will be very good. B+/A- 2005 Domaine des Lambrays €śLes Loups€ť Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Not as elegant/focused as the GC, red fruits, earth. B+/B 2005 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays A bit tight, but you can see a real beauty underneath. Red and black cherries, earth,a little mocha. Long and delicious. A- Boeuf bourguignon, yum 2000 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays (mag) Lovely and ready, spicy and long. Drinking quite well (though it got better in glass). A-/B+ 1999 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays This may have suffered from transport, seemed grumpy next to the "00, a bit muddled. Solid wine underneath I think B Some cheeses 1989 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Pretty, elegant in a high toned style. B+/A- 1988 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Sturdy, young, a little rustic but I enjoyed. B+ 1983 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Comparatively tired, though it actually got better in glass. A little VA, brown sugar, but some solid cranberry fruit. B/B- Nice lineup. Cathleen passed some cookies and a dessert wine 1978 Cazes Rivesaltes Nuts, Christmas spices, pungent. B Great night Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency. |
