2004 Pol Roger Brut - apparently this batch was released a little early specially for the wedding, as the wine itself is not yet available in the market. Lemon citrus, slightly yeasty. Ripe on the palate.
2004 de Montille Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets en magnum - big nose with lots of toast, roast corn and minerals on the nose. Pretty ripe on the palate. What an absolutely beautiful wine!
2004 Gloria - chosen in memory of Paulo's mother Gloria, who sadly left us last year. Mint, spices and wood on the nose. Still a little tannic.
2004 Yquem - totally sweet, with honey and orange blossoms.
1982 Mouton-Rothschild - waiters came around to some of the tables and poured us some of this. We also received a card from Paulo, addressed to the four MNSC members at the table, saying something like "Stop complaining. Enjoy the wine and share it with your table." I guess he does know us well… Smoke, grilled meats, tobacco, soy sauce, minerals, mint and dried herbs. Pretty good, but wish I had a bigger pour…
1993 Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux en magnum - a friend came over with this bottle and poured me a glass, since I hadn't walked over all evening to mooch off them. Smoky, grilled meats, mint and black fruits.
