Dinner at Neighborhood.
2005 Brewer-Clifton Chardonnay Ashley's Vineyard - pretty powerful nose, with some toasty notes. Ripe, hot and alcoholic on the palate. Later on I definitely noticed the pungent sulfur.
2008 Movia Lunar 8. - unfiltered and very, very cloudy. Really, really sweet nose showing very ripe honeydew melons, with a hint of pear
2007 Egly-Ouriet Cuvée des Grands Côtes Vieilles Vignes - opened for 1 hour prior to serving. Lovely nose showing floral and leather notes, with exotic spices as well as some toasty notes later. Very fragrant and elegant wine.
2011 Egly-Ouriet Cuvée des Grands Côtes Vieilles Vignes - opened for 1 hour prior to serving. Much more toasty on the nose, with sweet fruit. After 1 hour and 45 minutes, the nose really opened up and became a little softer.
2009 Bernard Van Berg Les Gamets - made from Gamay vines planted in 1957, with a production of just 269 bottles. Opened more than 2 hours prior to serving. Intense nose of toasty oak, with lots of grilled meats as well as animal notes. Pretty smooth on the palate. A very nice wine, if somewhat lacking in complexity.
1988 Moët et Chandon Cuvée Dom Pérignon - really ripe, with straw, a little savory and almost like black truffles, along with salted plum and Chinese licorice.
