Written By: Michael Zimberg on Monday, September 22, 2008

Many of the bottles were oxidized. Those that weren't showed a nice spectrum of white burgnudy. Then we had a few reds: 2005 Coche Dury Mersault. Insane. Buttered popcorn. Rocky, salty, peachy, honeydew, honey just incredible mouth feel. JulieAnne says smoke. Outrageously delicious. Lovely oak integration. Grade: A. 1999 Roulot Tesson. read more
