<\/td>\nThe Wines<\/p>\n

Eight decades of great Burgundies ought to do the trick.<\/p>\n

The favorite wine was overwhelmingly the 1937, followed by the 1983, 1928 and 1959. All wines scored in the 90s, and evolved for several hours. An amazing tasting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Col<\/td>\nRow<\/td>\nYear<\/td>\nWine<\/td>\nPrice<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\n28<\/td>\n1928<\/td>\nPommard Epenots, Barolet
\nGiven its thin, light brown color I didn’t expect this to last, but it actually held up for several hourse, increasing in complexity and sweetness. Cedar, smoke, varnish, artichoke, still very much alive and balanced. 93 points.<\/td>\n		475<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\n23<\/td>\n1937<\/td>\nChambertin, Louis Latour
\nAlso thin and brown, but appearances can be deceiving. Clearly the wine of the tasting, with waxy, charry notes that quickly turned to classic cherries, bacon fat and smoke. Caramel, chocolate, almonds and coconut on the palate combines to create a magnificent Almond Joy! Held up four hours. 97 points.<\/td>\n		390<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\n23<\/td>\n1949<\/td>\nCharmes-Chambertin, Liger-Belair
\nProbably not the best example of this wine. Hints of greatness spoiled by a maderized nose. Some smoke, fat and cherries. Oddly, some of the oxidation worked its way out over a few hours. 88 points.<\/td>\n		317<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\n22<\/td>\n1959<\/td>\nGevrey Chambertin, Bouchard Aine & Fils
\nBetter color than the first three, and quite fruity, but not nearly the complexity level. Still, a great Burg. 95 points.<\/td>\n		380<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\n29<\/td>\n1966<\/td>\nEchezeaux, Doudet-Naudin
\nVanilla nose, still tannic, earthy, coffe. Another great wine. 94 points.<\/td>\n		325<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\n9<\/td>\n1978<\/td>\nChambolle Musigny, Trapet
\nYouthful, fruity, earthy, mushrooms. 92 points.<\/td>\n		140<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/td>\n28<\/td>\n1983<\/td>\nGrands Echezeaux, Domaine de la Romanee Conti
\nClassic for its type, mint, iron, a bit thin given expectations. 93 points.<\/td>\n		300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\n23<\/td>\n1993<\/td>\nLa Romanee – Bouchard, Pere et Fils
\nThe disappointing wine of the tasting, since it was the big name in vineyards. Very young and fresh with vanilla and tannin, but not much going on. 91 points.<\/td>\n		190<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n2000<\/td>\nGevrey Chambertin, Clos Prieur
\nAdded by John. Tight mushrooms, closed and a bit thin. Needs time. 91 points.<\/td>\n		<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
