Hodgepodge for hot pot
Dinner at a friend's home.
Jacques Selosse V.O. - marmalade on the nose with lovely toast. Good ripeness.
Hanamura Junmai Daiginjo Aiyama (花邑 純米大吟醸 愛山), R2BY - very ripe, lots of fermented rice in the nose.
2015 Bernard-Bonin Bourgogne Blanc Initiales B.B. - acidity on the high side, and pretty lean on top of ripeness. Very fresh.
2012 Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes - a lot more ripe and rounded on the palate.
2006 Kongsgaard Syrah - really ripe and jammy upon opening. Served 1½ hours after decanting. Not as sweet as expected on the palate. Minty and metallic. Acidity was higher than expected, and tannins were still here.
2010 Two Hands My Hands - served 3½ hours after decanting. Still plenty of vanilla in the sweet nose, but not as sweet and jammy on the palate. Finally really ripe and sweet after 4 hours, with lots of woodsy notes.
2003 Guigal Condrieu Luminescence - apricot, metallic, Anjou pear, and honey on the nose. On palate showing marmalade and a hint of bitterness.
