Great night at Graileys last night!! The 66 Leroy Morey st Denis was killing it with truffles, raisins, and sous bois. But the real surprise was the 70 Palmer. The wine was at the end of its life, but right out of the bottle there was a gasp of prunes and spice box with gravel and tobacco. The wine fell off quickly but was a pleasure to drink for the first 30 min…
The 1989 Cos is always a stunning with with just the right balance of fruit and earth it is in a perfect drinking window right now and will only get better with more time in the bottle. I was also a huge fan of the 1978 Remoissenet Les Beaumonts which was very spry for its age. Sweet red currant with ceder, vanilla, and clove.
