Starck and Ducru

Dinner at House 102 in Foshan.

2009 Louis Roederer Brut Nature, dégorgée en Mai 2016 - nose was pretty nice with some ripeness and savory minerals. There was good acidity on the palate thanks to zero dosage, but also a little Chinese salted plum with the savory profile, and a nice, long finish.

2004 Ducru-Beaucaillou - started drinking after about 1 hour and 15 minutes in the eto decanter. Nice nose with lots of smoke, very meaty, lots of wood, and still got the fruit. Definitely some sweetness on the palate, and very silky smooth.
