1992 Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne - Talk about opulence and tremendous mouthfeel. This wine out-Montracheted the Montrachets at the table. Three to five years and it will be even more perfect. A+
1996 Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet - Whooo baby! Thick, rich, ripe, balanced. Easy to drink now and will likely last another 10 years. Killer juice. A+
1989 Coche-Dury Meursault Rougeot - Astonishing. The weight of Quaker 10/40 motor oil. Just an incredible large and round mouthful of fruit. 30-second finish. Opulent like Corton-Charlie or Batard. A+
1986 Coche-Dury Meursault Perrieres - Beautiful, rich wine, good minerality, and sensual mouthfeel; everything I like about Burgundy going for it. A+
1995 Carillon Bienvenues Batard-Montrachet - Amazing and beautiful on the palate. Surprisingly thick and viscose for a Bienvenues. Montrachet-like. A
1995 Coche-Dury Meursault Perrieres - Do I hear fantastic? A showstopper. Not as good as as '89 or '96, but among the better white wines that I have ever had. A
1985 Niellon Chevalier Montrachet - Classy, classy, classy. Elegant too. What great white Burgundy drinking is all about. A
1986 Leflaive Batard Montrachet - Rose petals and violets in a white wine. Really beautiful wine and perfectly ready to drink. A
1985 Blain-Gagnard Criots Batard Montrachet - Unusual flavor. Sort of like white truffles and honeydew melon. Good volume and really delicious to drink. Difficult to find this one. A
1992 Ramonet Montrachet in magnum - Signature mint on the initial nose and palate. I didn't think that the wine had completely come together. Classy juice, and I finished my glass in record time. I've had better Montys from Ramonet. A-
2001 Ramonet Batard-Montrachet - What a beauty. Beautiful viscosity. Maybe a tad overripe. Much easier to find than the '02. A-
1986 Ramonet Batard-Montrachet - Nice and spicy, this was sort of low on acid which is surprising for Ramonet. But very pleasurable to drink. B+
1990 Carillon Puligny-Montrachet Perrieres - The most viscous example of this wine I have had. Better than the Leflaives from the same year IMO. High level of minerality. Great stuff. B+
1986 Ramonet Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet - Creamy and minty with a good long finish. A pleasure to drink, although I will always prefer the Batard. Good volume for Bienvenues. B+
1998 Leflaive Montrachet - Big, fat, and overripe. Not worth the $500 price tag. B+
1992 Sauzet Batard-Montrachet - Perfectly mature. Delicious wine. Thin in body and heavy minerality. Drink up. B+
1990 Ramonet Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet - This was good, but did not reach the greatness I expected it to reach. B
1989 Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots - Funky and herbal out of the blocks, but with excellent clarity and freshness for this often heady vintage. B
1989 Leflaive - Puligny-Montrachet "Les Combettes" - Fully mature. Amazing intensity on the palate. Full-bodied and viscous, but without as much exotic fruit as other '89s. B
1986 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne - Never a fan of these wines. This was better than any example I remember, with much better concentration than other examples of the wine. B
1993 Leflaive-Montrachet - Nice and viscous, but without the killer finish that Montrachets can have in great vintages. Lots of petroleum on the middle palate. B
1995 Leflaive Batard-Montrachet - A lightweight for a Leflaive Batard. Didn’t have the same viscocity I’ve experienced in othe Lelfaive Batards. B-
1986 Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche - Thin and uninteresting. Very disappointing for this wine. B-
1986 Lafon Meursault Charmes - Thin for an '86 and with a strong mineral element in the wine. Some problems resolving itself on the finish. Too acidic and too much of a bite. B-
1991 Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche - Better extraction with this ripeness level. Good mouthfeel, but why drink this as opposed to the vintages? B-
1999 Comtes Lafon Meursault Charmes - Lots of steel and minerals here. Bare bones without much adornment. B-
1995 Roulet Meursault Perrieres - Not my favorite style. A bit steely and high in acid. Needs time. C+
1993 Coche-Dury Meursault Rougeots - Surprisingly soft for a '93. The extraction isn't there like it is for the '92, which makes it less interesting. C+
1985 Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles - Lacked complexity. Not a bad wine, just not compelling. C+
1986 Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes - A lot of exotic fruit and I detected botrytis on the nose. In fact, it smelled like a faded Sauternes to me. C+
1989 Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre - Nice weight. Not much of that over-the-top '89 fruit here. Somehow semi-opulent and lean at the same time. C+
2000 Comtes Lafon Meursault Genevrieres - An attractive bottle. Less buttery and extracted than other Lafons that I have had. Toned down stylewise. C+
1996 Carillon Puligny-Montrachet Perrieres - Shut down. Lots of citrus, especially lemon. Lacked the weight of the '95, but that could be from it being in a dormant state. C
1990 Coche-Dury Meaursault Perrieres - Surprisingly soft for the vintage, which is known for being high in acid. This was approaching flabby, which made it not as enjoyable. C
1999 Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet La Maltroye - Nice body to the wine. Good level of viscosity and excellent mid-palate. Finish was a hair short. C
1995 Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles - Didn’t turn me on. It doesn't seem to have the same punch as other top Pucelles. Possibly not ripe enough? C
1986 Latour Montrachet - Minty and uninteresting. But that’s a Latour for you. C
1995 Coche-Dury Meursault Chevalieres - Disappointing. Just better than a village wine. Vegetal and stemmy. C-
1985 Jadot Chevalier Montrachet Demoiselles - Over the hill and flabby. C-
1992 Georges Deleger Chevalier - Closed and oxidized? I never warmed up to this wine. Not for me. C-
1989 Amiot-Bonfils Puligny-Montrachet Demoiselles - This wine has gone downhill. All flabby now. D+
1991 Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet - Awful. Tasted like vodka. Drink a bloody mary instead. D
1985 R. Caillot Batard Montrachet - Oxidized. F
