Coteaux du Languedoc 2005 Mas Jullien orphan bottle from the cellar, like the taste, unbalanced alcohol disturbing bit palate however.
whatihad:
Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut PC Cuis NV Gimmonet round long finish, lacking zest, maybe lots of 03 in there...

whatihad:
First flight of 2001 Barolo, served to warm, quick fridge intervention, Pira showed best.

whatihad:
Savigny Les Beaune PC La Dominode 1993 Bruno Clair look forward to this tonight, beginning Easter break with something special.

whatihad:
Meursault PC Goutte D'Or 2005 Comtes Lafon zesty, rich flavored and round white, maybe young but premox scare makes you careful.
