Dinner at Brian's in Tokyo.
1983 Dom Perignon - brought this bottle. Very nice. Crisp acidity, full of toasted oak and caramelized sugar. Not many bubbles due to the age.
1973 DRC La Tâche - H-man brought this bottle. Very good wine. Another fine example of old, mature Burgundy. Initially the color was so faded it looked like I was decanting apple juice! But the nose opened up nicely with ripe red fruits, bacon, grilled meats. Hmmm....
1986 Lafite-Rothschild - I brought this bottle. Pretty sweet nose of red fruits, minerals, tobacco. A bit of sweet grass. Very good wine overall and glad it wasn't cooked while being stored in Taipei.
1986 Mouton-Rothschild - from H-man. Very powerful. Big, smoky cigar nose dominates everything. Very full-bodied and long finish. Minerals and grilled meats nose.
