2014 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne

Badly POXed. We had a previous bottle from the same case in January 2022 which was sound and I can not imagine that this deterioration has happened since that time. The inconsistency with various Latour bottles has reached a point where I no longer have a desire to purchase their wines.

2012 Delamotte Champagne Blanc de Blancs Millésimé

Golden color, surprisingly rich and creamy with ample mousse and exotic fruit and baked goods. Smooth and mouth filling with a fair amount of ripe yellow fruit which comes across with a surprising hint of sweetness. Much more so than previous great vintages such as the 02 and 08 at this age. This last point makes me wonder if a little less dossage would have made this a little more precise. That said it was well liked and at a good place right now. Perfectly stored bottle since release and If this was typical, then (unless this was a slightly advanced bottle, as bottle to bottle variations are not uncommon) I would say- drink now, and in the next few years rather then trying to age it longer -the jury is out, need to try again.

1999 Domaine Coteau Pinot Noir

A nice surprise this was quite elegant and tasty reminded me of a 12-15 year old red Burgundy in it's texture and could have fooled many in a blind tasting. The winery disappeared out of the scene in around 2010 and I am not sure what happened -did they get purchased or morphed into another winery?
