Not much...

but something is better than nothing, right? The 1995 Louis Latour Corton-Grancy Grand Cru was classic LL. Cloven cherry. Sweet, not overly earthy, this wine was decent, just not "wow" stuff. Perhaps it needs more time? The 1999 Marchesi di Barolo "Cannubi" Barolo was beautiful, if not a bit tight right now. This wine was all dried cranberry, cherries, and strawberries. Very nice, with round tannins. Great Nebbiolo. The 1999 Alex Gambal Chambertin-Clos de Beze Grand Cru was mediocre. I was certainly expecting more (as I always do with this wine), but it never gives it up. It appears to be over-oaked, which is killing what should be powerful fruit. Oh well.... that's it. Really.
