1996 Bruno Paillard Blanc de Blancs en magnum - a little yeasty, but a very lovely wine. I can drink this all day.
2008 Château Fuissé Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes en magnum - this wine has surprised me on the upside in the past, and it was drinking very well tonight. After warming up the glass a little with my hands, the floral nose came out and was very refreshing, with a little tropical and marzipan nose along with minerals and a hint of oak. Ripe on the palate but there's enough acidity to balance it out.
2008 Ponsot Griotte-Chambertin - nose of forest, plum, and almost a little like plum jam that has been cooked. Palate was a little weak and not as enjoyable. Sealed with the synthetic cork that Laurent Ponsot showed us when we visited him.
2009 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben - made from very old vines. Intense petrol and flint in the nose, with a little manuka honey and orange blossom. A little sweet on the palate and really nice.
1992 Philipponnat Clos des Goisses en magnum - nose of sugar cane and straw, a little lemon. Ripe on the nose and the palate. Lovely.
