The challenge here was to identify, blind, the wine with the “pedigree” in each set of three.<\/p>\n

Well the results were mixed. The first flight wasn’t served blind, but we all agreed the 68 had the best pedigree, although all had their virtues. The second flight was by far the best. The recurring theme was that even though the Pierre Ponnelle vineyard represented weren’t prestigious, the his wines were fantastic. Two corked wines muddled the results a bit. The DRC, although the most popular wine of the last flight, was disappointing, given its pedigree.<\/p>\n

None of the wines faded in the glass over several hours.<\/p>\n

My Notes:
\n1964 BV Georges de La Tour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa $130<\/strong><\/p>\n

light color, classic redwood nose, slightly maderized, thin caramel finish. Held up in the glass, though. 87 pts<\/p>\n

1968 BV Georges de La Tour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa $150<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruby color, redwood and wax in the nose, balanced with still fresh fruit. 92 pts.<\/p>\n

1970 BV Georges de La Tour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa $150<\/strong><\/p>\n

Garnet, coffee and cinnamon nose, caramel on the palate. I actually prefered this to the group’s favorite, the ’68. 93 pts.<\/p>\n

1955 Corton, Naudin Red Burgundy $325<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outclassed by the lesser wines. Garnet, good color and clarity, coffee, vanilla, cherry, licorice, long vailla finish.<\/p>\n

1964 Chassagne-Montrachet “Clos de la Boudriotte”, Pierre Ponnelle Red Burgundy $95<\/strong><\/p>\n

An overachiever for what it was. Garnet, barnyard, earth and coffee, fruity vanilla finish. Wow. 96 pts.<\/p>\n

1966 Beaune 1er Cru Gr\u00e8ves Avery’s Bottling, Remoissenet P\u00e8re et Fils Red Burgundy $95<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dark garnet, plastic and herbs in the nose, fruit, metal and mint on the palate, long. Impressive. 97 pts<\/p>\n

1966 Mazis-Chambertin, Doudet-Naudin Red Burgundy $325<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great clarity, youthful, turpentine, pencil shavings, chewy. Not very complex, though. 88 pts.<\/p>\n

1967 Fixin, Pierre Ponnelle Red Burgundy $95<\/strong><\/p>\n

Slightly corked. Youthful. Definitely outperforming for its class. The corkiness came and went many times, and finally blew off after close to an hour. 92 pts, more if not corked.<\/p>\n

1978 Chambolle Musigny, A. Rodet Red Burgundy $70<\/strong><\/p>\n

Short, uninteresting. 86 pts.<\/p>\n

1983 Vosne-Romanee Charles Moncaut Red Burgundy $35<\/strong><\/p>\n

Corked. 85 pts?<\/p>\n

1985 Grand Echezeaux – Domaine de la Romanee Conti Red Burgundy $900<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bacon fat, soaped leather, mint, vanilla, coffee, cherry, lamb stew, mushrooms, floral. fairly long with spice and lamb in the finish. Certainly a good wine, but not a $900 wine. 91 pts.<\/p>\n

1985 Morey-St-Denis Domaine des Lambrays Red Burgundy $80<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sour, overripe, metallic, cherry and vanilla. Fairly unpleasant. 83 pts.<\/p>\n
