Jo & I both had a tot while we waited for everyone else to arrive and at that point it was aromatic and beautiful with vibrant vitality and evolved earthy meaty notes too. Maybe it just got lost for you in the welter of wines later in the evening, 'cos I thought it stood-up well for the whole evening. For me it was better than the 1990 but only because I think the 1990 needs a few more years to show at its best. <br /><br />I loved the Tondonia as well - the most complete wine of the night, for me. <br /><br />The sweetie that Bernard brought was Patrick Baudouin Coteaux du Layon 2001. It seemed a bit awkward and disjointed and I wondered it was an odd bottle - I rate Baudouin's wines and I have a few of this wine, so I'm hoping they're not falling apart....<br /><br />Thanks for the report and pics of a lovely night.Andy Leslienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632929314036232391.post-35423323874793188312010-10-09T19:02:10.736+01:002010-10-09T19:02:10.736+01:00Leon, the 88 Trevallon I thought was on fine form....Leon, the 88 Trevallon I thought was on fine form. The 99 Burg was a Volnay 1er cru from Compte Armand and just not ready by some stretch! It clearly is going through a funny adolescent gawky phase!David Bennett- Optometrist and Contact Lens Practitionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633914072495558482noreply@blogger.com
