MNSC dinner - Golden Leaf

MNSC dinner at Golden Leaf. The Ox hosting for his birthday.

1995 Moët et Chandon Brut Impérial Rosé - deliciously refreshing with notes of strawberries.

First flight:

1989 Guigal La Mouline - this opened up very early on, which was why it was easy to guess. Also the nose of rose petals was a telltale sign. Really good stuff, but this was also the first one to fade.

1989 Guigal La Landonne - this was pretty powerful, with a harder edge, but also very fruity and sweet. It was the slowest to open up but quickly caught up. Wow! Really delicious! Ended up being my favorite of the night, surprisingly.

1989 Guigal La Turque - this showed classic rose petals from the viognier. Very luscious. Close to the end this showed lots of caramel and coffee notes. Wonderful stuff.

Second flight:

1999 Vérité La Joie - the nose was very New World, but in a St. Emilion kind of way.
