1996 Crustal Rose: fantastic champagne. 1952 Leroy Bonnes Mares/1955 Leroy Mazi-Chambertin: 1955 Chambertin was and still is the greatest wine Leroy has ever made. This bottle was great and took the night from a very nice bottle of 52 Bonnes. 1990 DRC RSV/1990 DRC Richebourg: both bottles were wonderful, but this is a fantastic Richebourg and has more complexity and layers than the RSV. 1969 DRC La Tache/1989 DRC La Tache: Again, two great bottles, but this particular case of 69 is stellar (this is the third bottle I have had from this case) — the 89, while not known to be a great La Tache, was surprisingly good. 2010 Coche Dury Meursault Perrieres: a very forward bottle, which means I really liked it — not liked, loved — one of the best Coche Perrieres I have had. 1982 Mouton/1982 Latour: the Latour is finally drinkable — early on the Mouton always won, simply because it was more approachable then the then monolithic Latour – this is no longer the case and the 82 Latour has emerged as the wine of the vintage. 1983 Guigal La Mouline: although by this time I was seeing stars, this is a killer La Mouline and this was a great bottle — after the 78 and 66, this might be my third favorite Mouline – at least the way this bottle was drinking…
