Omadhaun and Poltroon
Dinner at Yong Fu.
2002 Moët et Chandon Cuvée Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2 - very toasty nose. Always smooth and lovely to drink. Pretty lively.
1996 Sine Qua Non Omadhaun and Poltroon - roussanne and chardonnay blend, with more roussanne in the mix. Very ripe on the nose, very oxidized... much more so than expected. Sugar cane, honey, a little metallic, very complex nose. Lovely, but a little too ripe and over the hill. Not sweet on the palate, though. About an hour after opening, kinda alcoholic with a little flint. Disappointing as this bottle seemed a little over the hill.
2009 Kongsgaard Chardonnay The Judge - definitely oxidized nose with a little acetone, and some savory notes under the sweetness. After some aeration, this seemed leaner, a little more alcoholic, and somewhat bitter on the palate. Sweet, buttery notes showed up after about 30 minutes. Still very much alive.
