Monday night wine tasting

2005 Matrot Meursault 1er Cru BlagnyPale golden. Rich nose, butter, minerals, light smoky notes, apples and some yellow apples. Fresh acidity, ripe, fruity, minerals, elegant, detailed, nuanced, playful, intense, long finish. 93

1986 Château Haut Bailly
In neck fill. Ruby, brown orange rim, lots of sediments. Earthy, sous bois, figs, mint, cedar, wood polish and some exotic notes. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, somewhat hollow, dry and edgy finish, lacks fruit. Probably not optimal storage. 87

2001 Château La Conseillante
Ruby. Scented, dark fruits, light exotic note, cassis, blackberries, touch of cigars and leather nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins starting to let go, fruity, somewhat leaner, somewhat rounded texture, not the longest. Lovely nose, doesn't quite live up to it on the palate. 92

1999 Dominique Laurent Clos de Vougeot
Ruby, somewhat cloudy. Sous bois, whiff of red berries, tobacco, touch of chocolate on the nose. Getting more and more nuanced and scented with air. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, lively, fresh almost unripe red berries, quite full bodied, refreshing, not the most complex but intense, long and lively. 92

2012 Domaine Pellé Menetou-Salon Morogues Vignes de Ratier
Pale lemon yellow. Apples, some peach notes, minerals, lightly floral. Fresh acidity, fruity, playful, lively, light passion fruit note, minerals, lemons, detailed, elegant, long. 93

1964 Momessin Aloxe-Corton
Pale ruby, brick rim. Earthy, figs and fairly oxidized nose, dead on the palate.

1983 Momessin Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru
Ruby garnet rim. Black tea and some fruits, think rooibos tea nose. Fresh acidity, tannins gone, lean and dry finish. 77

2001 Faiveley Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Marechale
Bright ruby. Red berries, raspberries, fruity nose, fairly elegant. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, structured, woody, immense wood actually, totally dry finish. No chance in hell for the fruit to manage this. 82

2006 Aile d'Argent
Lemon yellow. Grapefruits, minerals, some vanilla, light peach note nose. Fresh acidity, fruity, rounded, bit edgy, tropical fruits but has a bit up front oak. Burnt toast. Long burnt pop corn finish. Not my cup of tea. 86

1997 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese
Pale golden. Apples, some tropical fruits, candied lemons, minerals, fresh nose. Fresh acidity, lively, fresh, detailed, playful, lively, lovely balance, starting to mature, long finish. 94
