February 2011 Tasting Notes

• 2002 Domaine Darviot-Perrin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Bondues - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru (2/21/2011)
  
  I really like C-M reds, and this one had all the components. Complexity, texture, minerality, liveliyness. Would have had a long life ahead of it, too. (88 points)
  
• 1990 Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne Cuvée Spéciale - France, Champagne (2/15/2011)
  
  Last of a great value. Not super complex but good aged quality. (89 points)
  
• 2002 Jacques Prieur Beaune 1er Cru Grèves - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru (2/7/2011)
  
  Good value, right in the spot I was hoping for. A little more structure for the fruit and good developed complexity. (89 points)
  

• 1994 Mount Veeder Winery Reserve - USA, California, Napa Valley (2/5/2011)
  
  No formal notes
  
• 1999 Christophe Perrot-Minot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru (2/5/2011)
  
  very pretty with a nice bright quality along with the silkiness. A bit funky on nose but in a more floral way. (89 points)
• 2002 Maison Bertrand Ambroise Beaune 1er Cru Les Perrières - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru (2/1/2011)
  
  Good for the price. Pretty basic fruit, and atouch of spice. Not terribvly burgundian, but a good sipping wine. (85 points)
