1990 Nicolas Potel Meursault 1er Cru Perrières - initially too cold so the nose was somewhat muted. Some toast and good, round fruit in the nose. Medium acidity but the finish was rather short and disappointing... other than the obvious alcohol. Later on as the wine opened up the sweetness became more apparent in the nose. I had slightly higher expectations but this was a more elegant expression.
1997 Kistler Pinot Noir Cuvée Catherine - sweet, a little sharp alcohol, black cherries in the nose. After 17 years this has finally softened somewhat, and has become drinkable, but you can still feel the tannins there. After a while there was a little bit of forest and sous bois. An enjoyable wine, but like the Potel I had expected slightly more.
Full post on dinner is here.
