Dinner at Caprice.
2011 Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères - lean, flinty, with classic toasty notes. After 2½ hours it started to open up, and the finish became more refined. Needs time both in the cellar as well as after opening.
1992 Bryant Family - served 1½ hours after opening. Beautiful, so fragrant. Smoky and jammy at the same time, with cedar notes. So well integrated, so smooth on the palate. Wouldn't have pegged it as a Californian in a blind tasting.
1989 Clos Naudin Vouvray Moelleux Réserve - notes of acetone for sure, with a whiff of straw. Orange blossom, honey, pollen. Reasonably sweet on the palate.
