Minerality on the nose. Sharp lemony citrus. Not impressive but sufficient.

2004 Louis Lequin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot
WADA rated 79 pts
Fishy! Smells of cod liver. Dry and lemony. Slate features quite prominently as well.

2002 Guy Bocard Mersault Genevrieres 1er Cru
WADA rated 86pts
The deepest gold among the lot. A milky way of minerality , honeysuckle and nectar that radiates in its complete aura. Good weight. This is plesantly satisfying.

2004 Mischief & Mayhem Corton-Charmelagne Grand Cru
WADA rated 84pts
Gunpowdery smoke. Excellent balance, body, acid and fruit. A basket of citrus range fruits sitting beautifully on the patio of the summerhouse, basking in the comforting mid morning sun.

2005 Louis Lequin Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru
WADA rated 85+pts
Also fishy but not as much as the Louis Lequin Morgeot. Pungent! with honeysuckle bordering the edges. Some heat showing but blaanced off nicely with superbly rich and full mouthfeel of fresh butter. Aging needed for its potential to show.

2005 Domaine Edmond Cornu Ladoix 1er Cru Le Bois Roussot
WADA rated 79pts
Red. Lifted cherry fruit carried by kopi "O" aromas. Feels aged. Dark cherries to an almost plummish fruit characteristics. Wonderful lenght and breadth.

2005 Mischief & Mayhem Pommard 1er Cru Clos Blanc
WADA rated 76 + 4pts
Muted cherries. Dimmering palate that is a bit on the thin side. However, it did do a lot better with the lamb as the sweeter berries surfaced when paired with food.

2000 Domaine Jacques Cacheux Vosne Romanee 1er Cru La Croix Rameau
WADA rated 81 pts
Smells of cockroach infested kitchen cabinet. Bright cherries and berries ending with sufficient earth tones. Textbook and simple enough.

1995 Comte Senard Corton Grand Cru Clos des Meix Monopole
WADA rated 82pts
Beautiful "ass" that makes me enjoy burgs so much. This tastes like aged coke that has lost its fizz with herbs soaking in it for some time. A grand dame.

2004 Prieure Roch Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
WADA rated 86+pts
An interesting scent of Indian essential oils and shrivelled strawberries. Savory double boiled soup spectrum of flavours that reminds me of the Leroy Bourgognes I had.
