First, the 2003 Louis Jadot/Clos des Ducs Magenta Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot (got all that?) is one of the best, well balanced white White Burgundies from the 2003 vintage. A little flashy, but pretty.
Only 15 days left in the year (or is it 16... I don't know dates)... and I'm only at number 9? Well, let's do it..
#9 - 1990 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne, Burgundy - Well, it had to go somewhere. Does it deserve higher? Probably, but because of what's left, this was the only spot. Amazing wine. Simply incredible concentration and depth for a 16 year old Chardonnay without the word "Montrachet" on the label... Pure liquid honey and almonds with mind-blowing structure and completely balanced acidity and alcohol. I could drink this wine forever and I will always remember the taste. Yes, this wine has history for me, but in this year, that doesn't matter that much.
Since it might be a while, let's do #8 as well...
#8 - 1975 Chateau Petrus, Pomerol - What can one say about this wine? It is amazing Merlot. This is Petrus at its silkiest, at its most sublime. A tremendous amout of cedar with a powerful attack of blackcurrants, cocoa and black earth is amazing with a never-ending finish. This wine is mythical and lives up to the hype.
Well, only 7 to go... any guesses?
