Dinner at Neighborhood.
2012 Philippe Bornard Côtes du Jura Les Marnes - I was ever so grateful that this bottle of natural wine didn't turn out to be bong water... Toasty nose with a little sweetness. Kinda soft on the palate. Later on there were some Chinese medicinal herbs in the nose, and a little coriander seed. Nose was beautiful some 2½ hours later, showing a big nose of toast which faded rather quickly in glass. Palate still left me wanting.
2002 Krug - always beautiful. Nice and smooth on the palate, with a caramelized and toasty nose. Lovely yeasty nose some two hours later.
2004 Anne Gros Clos-Vougeot Le Grand Maupertui - I expected to be disappointed this evening, but I wasn't expecting this to be the bottle to deliver that disappointment. Not much on the nose. Improved a little with the second pour, but this was completely underwhelming.
2004 Prince Florent de Merode Corton les Renardes - nice fruit here but it wasn't too ripe and jammy, a little smoky. Much nicer than the Anne Gros. No wonder DRC took a lease out on this vineyard.
Full post on dinner is here.
