Tasted blind. From magnum. Medium gold color, leesy nose. Notes of citrus, almond paste, mint, grapefruit and some ginger. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Lots of acidity. We're all over the map on deciphering what this is. But we circle back to Burgundy and my guess is 89 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlie. This wine tonight certainly benefited from aging in the magnum format... we're all amazed at the freshness and quality this 92 still had.

Feb 19th, 2023Tasted blind. From magnum. Dark gold. Notes of apricot, ginger, tan spice, lemon. Rich and powerful in the mouth. Has a quiet, fine grained acidity. Guessed 86 L Latour CC. Seemed darker and older than other bottles I’ve had of this recently (especially this being from magnum tonight).
