quite smoky and toasted, with quite a lot of sherry coming through. Some resinous notes (eucalyptus) and hints of mint. Develops on cold coffee, breadcrumb, maple syrup. Hints of apple pie

rich, on quince jelly and cake. Quite fruity (kiwi, apple, gooseberry). Goes on with crystallised fruits, icing sugar, sweet wine, plum jam. Nice and lively. Hot caramel, praline, cooked honey… Very nice indeed. Long finish, on fresh fruits (fructose) and light toffee. Great balance! 86 points . January 1, 2005 - HAPPY NEW YEAR! A LITTLE WINE FOR MY VERY BEST WISHES - and for once - Thanks to Christophe, Thomas and Dominique! From left to right: Château de Cazeneuve 1998, a very good Pic St-Loup from Languedoc, on full blackcurrant jelly mode. Contrarily to what some claim, they seem to age well. Beaune Clos des Avaux 1959 Henri Mathieu, absolutely superb - but again 1959 was the Year of the Century. It's a shame that the people in Burgundy make their wines so that they can be drunk when young nowadays. No young Bourgogne will ever hold a candle to these old-style ones. Ai-Danil Pinot Gris 1940 from Massandra. Lots of camphor, quince jelly, apricot jam. Massandra is near Yalta, in Crimea - rings a bell? Château Margaux 1983, perhaps a little less mesmerizing than it was two or three years ago. Declining, already? Château Haut-Brion 1986, austere and majestic. That's Bordeaux! Condrieu La Doriane 1994 by Guigal, on violet sweets. Superb, it can compete with Chave's white Hermitages. Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées 1995 by Leflaive. Excellent, on toasted bread and nuts, but it'll start to decline from now on. Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 1993 by Guigal. Tired and declining. What? Already? Is this the 'world taste'? Moët & Chandon Rosé 1998, one of the best champagne rosés, close to a 'still' wine. And finally, one of the very best 'generic' champagne, the Bollinger. It beats most of the others in the less than 25 euros range. MUSIC - Oldies but Goldies: 1980, a Friday night, John McLaughlin , Paco de Lucia and Al di Meola play Meditarranean Sundance (mp3). Incredible what three of the best guitarists in the world can do when they meet on a San Francisco stage. I wish I ha
