First hodgepodge of the year

Dinner at On Lot 10.

2000 Pol Roger Cuvée Winston Churchill - very smooth and lovely.

2000 Krug - nose of lemon citrus, a little yeasty.

2009 Peter Michael Ma Belle-Fille - really ripe, really sweet, oaky, vanilla, and sooooo buttery.  Very ripe on palate, too.

2003 Kistler Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard - nose was leaner than expected, a little flinty, pretty big toasty corn notes, oaky, buttery.  Nice acidity balance here.

2002 Anne Gros Clos-Vougeot - ripe nose with nice fruit, a little sharp and alcoholic on the nose.

2008 Flor de Pingus - after 2 hours in the decanter, a little smoky, alcoholic, kinda tannic due to its young age.  Some sweet coconut butter came out after 3 hours.  Needs lots of decanting time to open up.

1994 Dominus - really beautiful.  Smoky nose with grilled meats, animal, leather, pencil lead, minty, and slightly stinky.

Drinks at Neighborhood.

2004 Moët et Chandon Cuvée Dom Pérignon - very toasty nose, ripe on the palate.
